Much better than the Hong Kong original
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
I saw the original Hong Kong film a last year. It was an original story and the actors were recognizable. I usually find that the originals are always better. However, Scorcese has tweaked the story a little and casting with Academy Award-winning actors has made this much better than the original. DiCaprio pulls off the tough guy character well thanks to his personal trainer. At first, I thought he wouldn't fit, but I was wrong. Overall, great storyline, acting, cinematography, and better ending.
