Who wouldn’t relish the thought of a blood-soaked re-imagining of 2002 Hong Kong hit ‘Infernal Affairs’ by modern film’s foremost visual stylist? Who wouldn’t be excited by the prospect of Jack Nicholson finally teaming up with a film director legend? Who in their right minds would fail to froth at the mouth at a tough police thriller that matches razzle-dazzle camerawork with operatic violence? Once again Martin Scorsese has proved that he has the film-going world in the palm of his little hand.
