Confession Of Pain

"Confession Of Pain lacks the thrill-ride factor and the breathless pacing of Infernal Affairs. Although all the stylistic trademarks from that earlier film are there in the opening moments, the intrigue and suspense are not. Sure, it’s a far more psychologically intricate film than Infernal Affairs, and has great performances from both its leads, but the uneven pacing bogs the film down and the suspense waxes and wanes. While at times, the directors seem to aspire to the cat-and-mouse tension of Infernal Affairs, the result is less exhilarating and not as fun."

What is wrong with the Hong Kong movies these days. Sad.
