Review of Infernal Affairs II (2003) by Tyler D — 05 Oct 2010
This trilogy is for cinema of Hong Kong what The Godfather Trilogy is for American cinema. It is easy to see why this trilogy has such a cult following not only in Hong Kong but among movie lovers all over the world.
The second film of the series is my personal favourite as it deftly incorporated spiritual and philosophical themes in a crime drama. The first one is absolutely riveting while the third one is a fitting end to the saga of cops and gangsters in Hong Kong.
The three films have to be watched together really and treated as a single film. Forget about The Departed. This is the real thing.
