Divergence is an interesting new addition to the already packed crime genre. Although not remarkably original, it is flashy and stylish with a solid script and decent acting to boot. Those who are familiar with Infernal Affairs, should recognise the style and those unconvinced of Asian’s contribution to the genre will eventually, hopefully, be convinced with movies like this on offer. This release is a glorious two-disc edition in a silver slipcase, with an excellent transfer and two superb audio tracks. If you like solid crime dramas then this one comes recommended.

While it had a great transfer and all, the subtitles were quite bad (bad grammar and often too quick). The movie also took a tremendous dive about 15 mins from the end - a real pity. Started off well but totally failed to tie up the loose ends with any sort of skill. Just a case of poor filmmaking really.
