Country: Hong Kong
Director: Andrew Lau & Alan Mak
Cast: Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Anthony Wong & Eric Tsang.
A battle between two moles. Detective Yan is a secret undercover cop who works as a mole in the mafia group. Meanwhile, Detective Ming is a member of mafia group who infiltrates the police department.
This film was selected as the Hong Kong entry for Oscar category, unfortunately it was not nominated. But after four years the Hollywood remake of this movie won Oscar for best picture, which is not fair. The screenplay of this movie is very clever and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It was a huge success in Hong Kong and this is the first installment in the Infernal Affairs trilogy. Both Andy and Tony deliver great performances as the two undercover moles. Emotion wise Infernal Affairs is far better than Hollywood remake and it concentrates on plot more than character development. Overall, it's a top-notch crime thriller movie with many tension creating scenes of cat and mouse game.
Verdict: Great
