Definitely check this one out.
The mob places a deep cover mole in the police force while the police place their own spy into the mob.
Great premise.
Both men are torn by the deceptive lives they lead- the cop wanting to come in to reclaim his reputation (destroyed by his apparent turn to crime); and the mobster conflicted after living a decade as a good guy (for the most part).
A definite step above the standard Hong Kong action film. Nicely acted with very effective direction.
Scorsese is remaking this film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon as the two moles.
