Review of Infernal Affairs (2002) by Agent 2 — 22 May 2008
In most of the movies you would either see a lot more of the good guys (such as Hard Boiled, Silence of the Lamb) or more of the bad guys (such as A Better Tomorrow, Good Fellas). The beauty of this movie is both the good cop and bad cop equally share the depth. Somehow I have the feeling that this movie is influenced by Richard Gere's Internal Affairs, but it takes the thriller to a new level.
I can't say it is more intelligent than the re-make The Departed, but Infernal Affairs is definitely filled with unspeakable intense, you'd feel like holding a time bomb not knowing when it would go off. So don't let your guard down when seeing this movie.
