Infernal Affairs

the most overrated movie I have ever seen in my whole life and that's saying a lot since I watch a lot of movies it's absolutely terrible compared to the departed and I was almost convinced by asian wannabes that this movie is a some kind of masterpiece this movie had almost every bad thing a normal modern movie has these days horrible character development,lack of character growth,senseless writing and crappy cinematography Tony Lee was like the only good part of this movie but even then if you have watched the departed it wouldn't be impressive because Leonardo DiCaprio's perferonce was even better

One's an undercover cop inside a Triad, the other is a undercover Triad inside the police force. Which one will expose the other first? Riveting drama throughout. Included in the package is a top-notch cast at the peak of their powers and expert direction. Did I mention this is also an allegory for a Buddhist hell? (If you don't know what hell is, just take a look at the surviving character at the end of the movie and you'll have a fairly good concept) Just when you think a genre has been done to death, something like this takes you by surprise. This is a must see film for anyone interested in delving much deeper than standard cop versus crook fair.

I'd say the most amazing thing about INfernal Affairs is that it shows that Hollywood's greatest accomplishment is not its ability to make truly terrible movies. No, Hollywood's greatest accomplishment is its ability to take a great movie and remake it into something infernally inferior. If you haven't seen either of these films, ignore The Departed and watch Infernal Affairs. After you watch Infernal Affairs, continue to ignore The Departed. In IA, the story is tighter, there are no wasted or superfluous scenes seemingly thrown in to give the top-billed some extra face-time, the romantic appendage is simpler and actually logical, unlike the hack-job in The Departed, and the ending is better. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, there is more ... no Nicholson over-acting, no bad Boston accents and the cops don't all act stupid all the time.

Scorsese's version is far better than the original. I watched this because of the overwhelming good reviews. Unfortunately, i didnt see any good in it. The acting was mediocre at best and the flow of the story was sloppy. I dont know, maybe if you're from hong kong or china you'll be able to really appreciate this film.
