Infernal Affairs is a decent Hong Kong film. I haven't really enjoyed a good hong kong film for sometime (I had found them to be distasteful for a period of time), and this film returned my confidence in Hong Kong films.
The story isn't very original, but nowadays it's very hard to find an original crime drama. The actors gave solid performances, though I wouldn't really say it's their best (I can't really tell, you know, Andy Lau always seems to be the same, and Tony Leung, well, I am just too familiar with this guy). The music is all right, but not very impressive, and the cinematography seems average to me. But it's good entertainment if you've got two hours to spare and are a fan of Hong Kong films (or at least want to see a hong kong film). 8 out of 10.
