movie, The Goldfinger

Fans of “Infernal Affairs,” the brilliant 2002 Hong Kong thriller that spawned two sequels and served as the basis for Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning 2006 remake “The Departed” will no doubt be chomping at the bit to get a look at “The Goldfinger,” a new HK import that marks the first reteaming of that film’s magnetic co-stars, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau in a project written and directed by Felix Chong, who co-wrote that earlier project. To add to the curiosity factor, it tells a story that, while inspired by a real-life financial scandal that dominated Hong Kong headlines in the 1980s, comes across like a hybrid of a couple of other Scorsese classics, “Goodfellas” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.” And yet, despite all of that, the resulting film is a curiously uninvolving work that takes what sounds like a potentially fascinating story and somehow manages to render it mostly inert due to a disappointingly shallow treatment.
