Theres no doubt that it was distracting to learn all of them on a first watch, but i think the film made it clear and executed well to focus and develop the 5 or 6 most interesting characters among the assassins. The funny guy, the leader, his protege and the 1 with the waifu back home.
I personally had no problems this time with following all the important characters, there was no doubt with 13 people that some would be heavily underplayed.
I think a movie like the first "Infernal Affairs" in my case was harder to follow due to the extremely up beat cinematography and mind games/name memorizing which kind of left a unsatisfied feeling with the movie in my caase. This movie however was perfectly executed and used a long time and slowly introduced msot of the assassins in the early bit. But ye the hairstyles definitely didnt help lol.
