Seen but not scene
The other weekend, we watched "Infernal Affairs," the Hong Kong action flick that served as the blueprint for Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated "The Departed." One of the only differences between the two cop films is that the female psychiatrist plays a much bigger role in the American version than in its predecessor (and that's still not saying much). But check out what Kerry sent me the day after we watched the film. This is the promotional poster used for "Infernal Affairs." Looks like the lady with the gun is the star of the show, right? Nope! In fact, this actress is only in the movie for about ten seconds, and she plays Tony Leung's ex, now a happily married young mother! It would've been nice if they'd expanded the female character's part in the movie to match the proportions of this poster. But apparently, the marketing team for this film felt that woman are better posing on posters than acting on-screen.
