Synopsis

As Infernal Affairs opens, Ming (Andy Lau of Full-time Killer) is being initiated into the criminal underworld by triad boss Sam (Eric Tsang of The Accidental Spy), who ends his speech to his young charges by wishing them success in the police department. Ming enters the police academy, where he excels, but sees his classmate, Yan (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai of In the Mood for Love), expelled for "breaking the rules." It turns out that Yan wasn't actually drummed out of the force, but recruited by Superintendent Wong (Anthony Wong of Hard-Boiled) as an undercover operative. Just as Ming is achieving success in the police department while secretly working for Sam, Ming is gaining Sam's trust as a triad member, while reporting to Wong. Ten years later, both men, still undercover, have grown confused about their true identities, while their bosses, Sam and Wong, wage a battle of wits against each other. Each boss learns that the other has a mole working for him, and unwittingly entrusts the mole himself to ferret out the culprit. Ming and Yan scramble to expose one another's identity in an effort to save their own skins. Infernal Affairs was co-directed by Andrew Lau (who worked as a cinematographer on several of Wong Kar-Wai's films) and Alan Mak. Renowned cinematographer Christopher Doyle served as "Visual Consultant." The film was shown at New Directors/New Films in 2003. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

Infernal Affairs: AMG Review
Josh Ralske , AMG

By the standards of the typical Hong Kong police thriller, Infernal Affairs is unusually low-key and thoughtful. Beautifully shot, well acted, and tightly edited, the film is a flawed, but acceptably psychologically taut and genuinely suspenseful portrait of two violent men struggling with their own worth as they work to ingratiate themselves to those they are duty-bound to destroy. Fans of Hong Kong cinema will be happy to see a slick Andy Lau, a disheveled Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, an intrepid Anthony Wong, and a charmingly sinister Eric Tsang, all of whom are in top form. Some of the supporting players don't fare quite as well. The love interests of the two main characters are essentially window dressing, and one ex-girlfriend of Yan's (Leung) momentarily pops up at of nowhere for no discernible reason. The young actors who play Leung and Lau's characters in their early years don't look enough like them, causing a little confusion early on. In fact, the first ten minutes of the film are so elliptical that they resemble the opening of the second half of a TV mini-series, where we see scenes from the previous episode to remind us of how we got to the point where the film proper begins. From then on, things improve. There's a bit of melodrama (the music tends toward the sappy), but there's also plenty of suspense, and a few neat surprises. The film is a treat visually, and thanks in large part to the charisma of the two leads, we end up caring what happens to Yan and Ming (Lau). Infernal Affairs delivers a much needed shot in the arm for Hong Kong cinema. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
