Infernal Affairs
Must see. Yes you must! This movie rocks! Not only does it feature Tony Leung, one of my all time favourite Hong Kong actors but there are stunning high rise views of the city that just blow you away. The basic premise is there’s a cop undercover as a criminal and a criminal undercover as a cop. I won’t say more about the plot as there are some great twists and turns along the way and it is so satisying to be surprised.
One weakness: The female roles are inconsequential. I suspect much footage ended up on the cutting room floor.
Two notes: The cover on the dvd is bizare and has nothing to do with the movie. Just ignore it, hopefully next time they reissue they’ll fix the art work. The dvd was rated R in the US. This rating is incorrect. This movie is no more than a PG13. The MPAA has no clue and quite frankly drive me nuts with their inappropriate ratings.
