Mark C One of the best HK crime films ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Nikolai O This is one of my favorite movies ever. The ending is really good. For an action movie there actually isn't a huge amount of action, which I like, because it focuses more on the story. The beginning is a little fast and hard to keep track of but the rest of the movie is so good that I still give it a 5 star rating. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Ken N This is one of my top 2 movies (other one is Blade Runner) When it came out it, the plot was totally fresh, not the predictable tripe made by Hollywood. Story was really suspenseful! Don't want to giveaway too much on the story, but it's definitely a MUST SEE! This is the original version, it was later remade in the US as "The Departed" by Scorsese. Definitely watch the original version first! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Robert R Just gonna say it up front, there's gonna be a whole bunch of bias front-loaded into this review from jump street. As a westerner who's still trying to negotiate with his western cinematic sensibilities, I couldn't help but compare every aspect of this film to the American remake — one that not only happens to be a film I hold dear, but also the one I saw first. What was most fascinating to me in my watching "Infernal Affairs," was seeing just how much "The Departed" lifted from it. Of course, I was always aware that the premises of these two films were the same, but it really is to the point where scenes, plants/pay-offs, even bits of dialogue are directly adapted over into the English language. Obviously, major props to this film for doing it all first, but I just can't get past how much more I prefer the depiction of events in Scorsese's 2006 Best Picture Winner. Everything just feels more raw and aerodynamic there and it's almost unfair to compare the two. Still, a very interesting watch, for context. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Elvis D Este thriller policial es otra destacable obra del cine chino con una paradójica historia entre un infiltrado de la policía en las tríadas mientras un infiltrado de las tríadas se oculta en la policía. El resultado es una película bastante enigmática en la que puede provocar algunas vueltas de cabeza, pero se vuelve muy interesante como este conflicto entre la policía y las tríadas da todo un giro de tuercas al tratar de descubrir quienes son los infiltrados de ambos bandos. Estos infiltrados se vuelven un elemento muy relevante en este conflicto y cuando cada vez se acercan a la verdad, genera una gran tensión para saber quién será descubierto primero y como va a terminar. Aunque no hay muchas escenas de acción, se puede decir que la acción se siente bastante en el ambiente. Con buenas actuaciones, muy buena fotografía, edición llamativa y una bella canción en la banda sonora, Infernal Affairs es un estupendo thriller de crimen y corrupción que se merece un lugar junto a otras intrigantes películas policiales. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 9/10. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Tony S Better than Departed. One of the best movie of all time. Good direction and acting. One movie that needs to watch more than once. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
