Review of Infernal Affairs (2002) by Basil B — 29 Jan 2009

This is currently my favourite film, and with good reason. Tense and exciting, this film is a great start to a fantastic trilogy. It tells the story of a triad mole in the police, and a police undercover in the triads who becomes aware of each other's presence. Both men want to leave their hidden lives behind and start fresh, in a world where they can be who they want to, but first it means having to find the other mole.

It's fabulously acted, the story is simple but incredibly well delivered and the soudtrack is amazing, most notably the "Goodbye Master" piece.
