Review of Infernal Affairs (2002) by Adam L — 25 Nov 2012
Just when you thought Hong Kong cinema was dead, buried and forgotten filmmakers Andrew Lau and Alan Mak drop one of the slickest looking, most thought-provoking, and poignant cat-n-mouse triad dramas the former British colony has seen since the handover in 1997.
Tightly edited, tensely paced, and as gracefully executed as a ballet by a wonderful cast "Infernal Affairs" not only looks sharp -- it is sharp and will surely guarantee repeat viewings regardless of your initial reaction to the film.
Only a tacked-on epilogue and an inconsistent score feel out of sync here.
