148. Infernal affairs (2002)


Country: Hong Kong
Directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak

'Infernal affairs' is one more story that explores the strong ties between the policemen and the outlaws , the 'good' guys and the 'bad' guys, with their roles to be often reversed. This is an obsession of Hong Kong movie industry as it created a lot of successful films that were playing with this theme. In this case an undercover policeman appears to work with the triads while a planted from the triad informer is climbs the ranks of police: the one tries to uncover the other while they have to pretend all the time under a false identity. The story is very well presented and as an action movie the film has to be rated very high as is really entertaining to watch it. The main, opposed characters are well builded and very well performed by the two leading actors. The end is rather surprising : a must for the fans of the police story genre
