A great departure for creator WONG JING, known mostly for superfluous comedies and mindnumbingly bad comedy-action films that should have been left on the floor of Hong Kong film history (i.e. the '80s and early '90s).
COLOUR OF THE TRUTH is predictable and there's nothing new in it. In fact, it's somewhat of a copy of the far superior INFERNAL AFFAIRS in premise. Even so, TRUTH is rather enjoyable, thanks to a classic turn by star Anthony Wong.
Not quite as good as INFERNAL AFFAIRS, but even that movie was a retread of familiar territory. Hong Kong has done so many Cop/Triad films that it's hard to break new grounds. TRUTH doesn't, but it's still quite good.
6 out of 10.
