I know people are dogging on this trailer but to me it's like this the purpose of a trailer is to sell tickets. There's no way in my mind that if you care about cinema in general and gangster films in particular this trailer wouldn't have sold you a ticket. The dissapointment comes from people who had already decided months in advance that they were looking forward to The Departed and weren't thoroughly entertained by the trailer. If you knew nothing about this film before you saw the trailer I don't see how it couldn't have made you intrested given the people involved and the plot premise.

I'm with you, the trailer sucks. It gave the film a B movie vibe. Why couldn't they just have shown the stars in quick shots and the title?

infernal affairs is a great movie, if scorsese manages to capture the emotion of the story this one could be a classic

This DVD cover for Infernal Affairs is lame and disrespectful. The girl on the cover has nothing to do with the movie. Way to show your respect for another country's classic, Miramax. Genius work, marketing guys.

The movie looks good, but I'm sorry that trailer was killed by the overlaying of "Comfortably Numb". The pace of the song in relation to the pace of the trailer was just way off.

This is the man who brought us "Goodfellas", for crying out loud. Between the director, the cast and the premise i'm still excited as hell.
