With Infernal Affairs, Hong Kong filmmakers Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak have successfully taken a smart script and a great cast, added some stylistic cinematography, and dual-fistedly given a new twist to a formulaic genre. Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a young, loyal gangster, is ordered by his Triad boss Sam (Eric Tsang) to join the police force. While on the inside the young mole can keep a close eye on police activity, ensuring the gang's activities will not be interrupted. Police Superintendent Wong (Anthony Wong Chau-Sang) has a similar plan. He takes a bright, ambitious police cadet Yan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and makes him an undercover cop with plans to get him inside the Triads. Years pass and both are now deep into their assigned roles. Undercover cop Yan, more or less living the life of a gangster, is now a member of Boss Sam's group, and "Officer" Lau has all the appearance of a good cop trying to bust up the Triads' drug ring. During a bust that could finally bring down Boss Sam, the moles inadvertently become aware of each other's existence, and each is left wondering who is on the inside. What follows is a unique and exciting twist on the classic cat and mouse chase in which each man is not fighting for his life, but for his anonymity. In addition to its plot twists, what lifts Infernal Affairs above the standard cop story is its subtle exploration of the relative nature of good and evil. Part action, part psychological examination, Infernal Affairs is a sharp and fresh take on the classic crime story, and the inspiration for a 2006 Martin Scorsese remake (The Departed). Not to be missed. --Rob Bracco

- An inspiration for "The Departed", but better!I have to say that after I saw "The Departed", "Infernal Affairs" is a masterpiece compared to Martin Scorce's adaptation. Although both plots are extremely similar, "The Departed" was filled with so many long and unnecessary scenes and useless dialogue about nothing which helped to move the plot or understand why the characters do what they do. With I.A. and its prequel and sequel, you get a whole sequence of events that all tie together. All three films are filled with deep psychology and suspense. ... Read More

- The GREATEST movie I have yet to see!Infernal Affairs has to be the greatest movie I have seen. It was brilliantly directed, wonderful storyline and such great acting by Andy Lau & Tony Leung Chiu-Wa. We need more beautiful, crime, thriller movies like Infernal Affairs instead of that cheap stuff we get from Hollywood. I will not get into the details about the movie, but I think it's a movie for those who love drama, crime, and thriller
This masterpiece was horribly ruined by a director whom I used to think was great: Martin ... Read More

- "Wait. I will be the good guy in the story."Directed by Andrew Lau, "Infernal Affairs" is a slick and subtle portrait of what can happen when ruthless honesty meets ruthless corruption--each hiding behind the guise of the other. Influenced by the Buddhist culture of Hong Kong and deeply rooted in the ingenious concept of two undercovers: one a cop become gangster and the other a gangster become cop, each trying to find the other from within their very uncomfortable frameworks.
This tortuous situation throws both, Andy Lau ... Read More

- Gripping crime thriller....This is the original smash-hit Hong Kong inspiration for "The Departed"...only 50 times better. An absolute must see. Tony Leung is great in this and even the often stiff Andy Lau deserves some credit. Anthony Wong Chau-Sang and the always energetic Eric Tsang both take the cake for their superb acting.
One thing that just irked me is the hot chick on the cover of the Miramax re-release of the DVD. That piece of arse is none other than Elva Hsiao (or Siu if you prefer Cantonese). She's a famous ... Read More

- Way Better than the departedGet this instead of the departed. This is the original story and it is superior to the departed. Great movie and well worth your money.
