If you love Foreign movies then check it out!.......2007-04-10
I am a huge fan of foreign movies and as of late been renting several Asian movies. The Infernal Affairs Trilogy is my favorite! Way before the hoopla of "The Departed", this movie has stood out amongst alot of Asian viewers as a 5 star! Andy Lau, star, director and writer leads a team of undercover and dirty cop characters twisting and turning in the police force. Who is good and who is bad, that's what keeps you hanging in your seat till the very end.
Anyone who likes cop thrillers, and a cast of characters that keep you guessing should pick up this trilogy. Highly entertaining!
Best Chinese movies.......2007-04-05
Although Infernal Affairs 3 is so boring, getting all is the best choice.
Great Movie....Great Service.......2007-04-02
"The Infernal Affairs" is a very interesting movie. I like it better than "The Departed." Got the whole set within 2 days after purchase. Thanks Amazon for the great service!!
Infernal Affairs Trilogy.......2007-03-28
I received the item in fairly good condition. The inside of 2 of the cases were damaged and have not yet watched all to see if the DVD's are ok.
One of Hong Kong's best.......2007-03-20
Part 1 is a winner! Martin Scorsese released the American version and won an Academy award. What higher acclaim is there for this Hong Kong original movie? The scipt takes the "corrupt cop" story to a whole other
level. Anthony Wong, Tony Leung and Andy Lau once again give outstanding performaces with a dramtic unexpected ending as only Hong Kong directors
seems to employ.
Part 2 is an interesting prequel. 2 young actors take the roles created by Andy Lau and Tony Leung and the movie weaves an interesting background
story. Part 3 is sluggish, filmed simplty to establish a trilogy.

With Infernal Affairs, Hong Kong filmmakers Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak have successfully taken a smart script and a great cast, added some stylistic cinematography, and dual-fistedly given a new twist to a formulaic genre. Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a young, loyal gangster, is ordered by his Triad boss Sam (Eric Tsang) to join the police force. While on the inside the young mole can keep a close eye on police activity, ensuring the gang's activities will not be interrupted. Police Superintendent Wong (Anthony Wong Chau-Sang) has a similar plan. He takes a bright, ambitious police cadet Yan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and makes him an undercover cop with plans to get him inside the Triads. Years pass and both are now deep into their assigned roles. Undercover cop Yan, more or less living the life of a gangster, is now a member of Boss Sam's group, and "Officer" Lau has all the appearance of a good cop trying to bust up the Triads' drug ring. During a bust that could finally bring down Boss Sam, the moles inadvertently become aware of each other's existence, and each is left wondering who is on the inside. What follows is a unique and exciting twist on the classic cat and mouse chase in which each man is not fighting for his life, but for his anonymity. In addition to its plot twists, what lifts Infernal Affairs above the standard cop story is its subtle exploration of the relative nature of good and evil. Part action, part psychological examination, Infernal Affairs is a sharp and fresh take on the classic crime story, and the inspiration for a 2006 Martin Scorsese remake (The Departed). Not to be missed. --Rob Bracco
Description
An award-winning crime thriller in the intense tradition of HEAT and RESERVOIR DOGS ... critics everywhere have hailed INFERNAL AFFAIRS for its gritty action and international superstars. Chan Wing Yan (Tony Leung -- HERO) is a hard-nosed veteran cop sent undercover to infiltrate the notorious Triad crime ring. An expert at bringing down violent syndicates, Chan thinks it's going to be a routine mission. What he's not prepared for is the discovery that the Triad's boss (Eric Tsang -- THE ACCIDENTAL SPY) has planted a mole (Andy Lau -- THE LEGEND OF DRUNKEN MASTER) in the police department ... and now Chan is being hunted down. In this battle of wills, only one cop can win!
Customer Reviews:
Way Better than the departed.......2007-09-15
Get this instead of the departed. This is the original story and it is superior to the departed. Great movie and well worth your money.
Infernally Sweet!.......2007-08-06
This movie rocks! The acting is grade A and it's superior to the remake The Departed. The story is a little tighter than The Departed and it's faster paced. One of the highest box office hits in China, these actors and the director have moved up huge on my list. A story of 2 moles. One who is an undercover agent who gets employed with the Chinese Syndicate and another who works for the mob but has worked his way up in the Police force. A well crafted crime noir as the search begins to find out who the moles are. Eventually the moles ask themselves questions on what they are actually doing with an explosive conclusion. I love the ending and it's one of the main reasons this film is better than The Departed. A must see.
Infernal Affairs.......2007-07-20
Remade by Martin Scorsese as "The Departed," Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak's superior "Affairs" is the kind of clever, suspenseful, genre-twisting epic Hong Kong cinema has been famous for in recent years. The directors examine the meaning of loyalty and honor while blurring the line between good and evil, and the result is a wrenching psychological cop thriller with a pace all its own. Asian star Lau is marvelous playing opposite the equally charismatic Wai, and the film gets an extra boost from its superb visuals. "Affairs" is thrilling, intelligent, and easy to love.
The best Chinese language film of the last 10 years.......2007-05-12
It is a shame that the translation in subtitles is not optimal and that the dubbed voices lack the emotional qualities of the actors supposedly talking. Cantonese is beautiful to listen to but when this film was dubbed the emotions and nuances were eliminated. The actors in this film did a great job and if you can only understand English you are missing a lot.
That being said I think Hollywood has tried to rip off this movie already once (why not, there are at least 2 sequels in Hong Kong) but did not succeed.
The story is great and you have great actors in the top 4 roles giving good, intense acting jobs. This film is about good and evil and that the difference is only by an individual's perspective. This film is really about perceptions as much as "The Matrix" was, except it shows you both sides of the perspective as equal. Never has such an intellectual movie been done as entertainment or a police / crime story although the alternate ending lessens the actual movie. Check out the alternate ending only to see that Mr. Lau (yes he is one of the stars) chose the correct ending.
One last thing, I think Americans could have used a little more screen time for Kelly Chen (the therapist) so that they could find out about her talent.

Infernal Affairs (Andrew Lau and Siu Fai Mak, 2002)
Hopefully all of you are aware by now that The Departed, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 2006, is Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Lau and Mak's Infernal Affairs. I have not yet seen The Departed, and thus can't comment on the similarity between the two movies, but I can say that this one, at least, is a winner through and through.
Our story opens with Sam (The Hitman's Eric Tsang), a mob boss, sending five of his youngest recruits off to police academy to become moles. The brightest star in the bunch is Lau Kin Ming (international superstar Andy Lau, last seen on American screens in House of the Flying Daggers), who quickly rises through the force. What none of the criminals know is that, as Lau was in the academy, the academy was grooming their own mole, Chan Wing Yan (Tony Leung Chu Wai). Both undercover agents are detected at the same time, though no one knows the identity of either, and the two end up hunting each other down.
Yes, it reads like a comedy of errors, but it's anything but. Mak and Lau keep the action white-hot after a few minutes of setup at the beginning. The viewer barely has enough time to breathe. The movie suffers a time or two when extraneous subplots are introduced, none of which actually goes anywhere, but when the directors are focusing on the main plot, it's fireworks from beginning to end. All this is helped by the fact that Lau (the character) and Chan are well-drawn, absorbing characters, and Lau (the actor) and Leung make them into real humans with which the viewer can empathize.
If you're an action movie fan, or if you just want to see what all the fuss was about this year while putting in a little over half the time it would take to watch The Departed, you can't go wrong with Infernal Affairs. ****

As every Asian action devotee will tell you, Infernal Affairs 2 is not a sequel but a prequel to Hong Kong directors Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak's Infernal Affairs (2002), which served as the inspiration for Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning The Departed. Gone are original stars Andy Lau as Lau (the Matt Damon character from The Departed) and Tony Leung as Chan (Leonardo DiCaprio's counterpart); pop star Edison Chan and Shawn Yue, respectively, play younger versions of the two leads as they begin their careers as a Triad member feeding police information to mobster Hon Sam (Eric Tsang, reprising his role from the first film) and a mole infiltrating Sam's organization. A side plot involves the son (Francis Ng) of a murdered Triad leader who causes trouble for all three characters. As with the original film, the violence and bulletplay is both operatic and frantic, and the truths, half-truths, and false identities labyrinthine in their complexities; viewers are advised to watch the first Infernal Affairs before tucking into this disc, unless they wish to be hopelessly confused. The Special Edition DVD includes seven deleted scenes, somewhat dull commentary by Anthony Wong (Inspector Wong, on whom Martin Sheen's role was based), Mak, and Tsang), a 20-minute making-of featurette that includes interviews with much of the cast and production team, and a "Confidential File" that sets more behind-the-scenes footage to music. The trailer and teaser spot round out the extras. -- Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews:
not bad, but not great either.......2007-04-11
a very pretentious imitation of hollywood's 'god father'. but this hongkong mafia don is a much too exaggerated and pretentious one, also badly acted. the plot is a bit too far-fetched, trying to be very complicated and at times, quite messy. putting a short and fat guy as a powerful key player was a very bad casting job too. not bad, but definitely not great. my only impression after finished watching this film is nothing but way too pretentious.
Diabolically ambitious sequel .......2007-01-19
Infernal Affairs II is one prequel you definitely shouldn't see before the original - so much of the interest comes from spotting throwaway details that assume more importance in the original film, and the character revelations are far more fascinating if you've seen the original. Take the opening monologue: standard enough - until you see who it is that Inspector Wong is opening up to: what we know about their eventual fates and the implications it has about their relationship is far more intriguing than if you choose this outing as your starting point.
With no Andy Lau or Tony Leung this time round, their younger selves played by the lacklustre Shawn Yue and Edison Chen are sidelined in favor of their superiors. It's a wise decision: Tsang and Francis Ng are superb, although curiously Anthony Wong isn't as good as in the original in a more expansive and more morally compromised role. The first half hour is awkward, but the deferred violence following the death of the local triad boss is well handled and the film fires into life with some genuinely great filmmaking once the consequences start catching up with the various characters.
The influence here is clearly the Godfather films, but whereas Godfather II was ultimately just a typical sequel exercise in underlining and escalation, this back story really does add layers to the original, with Eric Tsang becoming a genuinely tragic figure in his final scene. Where Godfather II tended to use history merely as a backdrop, here the handover of Hong Kong becomes an integral part of the film. The final montage of power being handed over from one nation to another, as police badges are replaced alongside criminals photos on the wall carries real weight and substance: it's what the film is all about - the loss of authority and the gaining of power. (Special praise to for Chan Kwong Wing's superb score.) Not as good as the original, true, but still very impressive indeed and miles ahead of Scorsese's bloated remake of the original.
Average customer rating:
- bad screenplay, bad acting, directing, editing, nothing but bad
- Flawed but still good.

Fans of the Hong Kong action/crime movie Infernal Affairs (2002) and its 2003 prequel (both of which served as inspirations for Martin Scorsese's The Departed) seem split over this final part of the trilogy, which picks up at the conclusion of the original film and brings the tortured path of cop and Triad mole Lau Ming (Andy Lau) to a close. The story picks up shortly after the execution of undercover cop Chan Yan (Tony Leung), with Lau now heading up an internal investigation to ferret out other Triad plants working in the police department. While Lau works frantically to eradicate any connection between himself and mobster Hon Sam (Eric Tsang), his actions are being carefully observed by Inspector Yeung (Leon Lai), who bears a personal grudge against the crooked cop. Less aggressively action-oriented than its predecessors (though certainly still featuring plenty of gunplay), Infernal Affairs 3 suffers from a disorienting structure that shuttles back and forth between events in the first and second film (which conveniently allow stars from both pictures to make return appearances), but the central idea--the final descent of Lau--remains engaging. DVD extras are comprised of a making-of featurette and theatrical trailers. -- Paul Gaita

bad screenplay, bad acting, directing, editing, nothing but bad.......2007-04-12
ridiculous plot, one dimensional cardboard-like acting (especially leon lai's rigid dead-like-fish-out-of-water performance), incoherent dialogs, horrible editing and directing, every thing is so bad if compares it to the first one. the second one has already turned bad but not as bad as this 3rd increment. the screen writers were obsessed with abnormal twists of the plots and tried to twist every section of the scenario to the extreme but unfortunately almost messed up the logic flow of a storyline. nothing deep but shallow all the way. just like a magician overplayed his black magic and suddenly found himself exposed completed without white gloves, long sleeves, and black cloak, even the white pigeons turned out to be dead. nothing could be hidden up in his sleeves or the tall hat. nothing at all. curtain call, drop it sooner than later.
Flawed but still good........2007-02-25
This is a good movie don't get me wrong but it was a real let down. This was not as strong as the first 2 of the trilogy. The one thing we do get to see is the downfall of andy laus charector both mentally and profesionally. The movie shift to much from the past to the present that you start to whish that they stayed in one place for one second so that you can get a grasp of what is going on. This is like the godfather the first 2 are a masterpiece but the 3rd part even though it is good it leaves you dissapointed by the way it turned out in the end. If it was not for the great performances from everyone this would have gotten a three star from me.
"Everything will be OK tomorrow.".......2007-01-19
Infernal Affairs III doesn't live up to its predecessors, but not for want of trying. Its biggest problem isn't the intriguing prequel/sequel structure that juxtaposes the aftermath of the first film as Andy Lau tries to be the good man he wants to be, with disastrous consequences, alongside the last months of Tony Leung's undercover man life. Rather, it's the fact that it takes so long to really find its stride. It's not until the two-thirds mark that it really kicks in with a hospital scene where past, present and possible future collide that completely wrongfoots you. You're suddenly in a whole new place that makes you rethink what you thought was going on, leading to a powerful ending that isn't as affecting as II, but leaves one character quite literally in the circle of unending, inescapable hell. It's also here that the theme of loss of identity starts to work overtime, as Lau forgets who he is, participating in the dead Leung's sessions with the court-appointed psychiatrist and setting out to expose a corrupt cop oblivious to the fact that the evidence incriminates himself.
While Lau spends most of the movie thinking he's digging a tunnel when he's actually digging his own grave, the flashback scenes involving Leung are very different to his character's trajectory in the previous movies. If Lau is a bullet train to hell, for the first time we see Leung's character in his happier moments as he is filled with hope for a future the captions gradually counting down to his death constantly deny him. In that sense it's less subversive than the first two films, which broke time-honored HK thriller tradition by letting the bad guys win, but it works on its own terms, and while it does take too long to sort itself out (or rather for the characters to lose sight of themselves), there's a constant governing intelligence to it that separates it from other HK pictures of its ilk. Indeed, it's only really in comparison to the other two films that the third seems the lesser. It probably would have helped if they'd spent a little more time on it - it was released only two months after the second film. However, you really need to see the films in the order they were made to get the most out of them: nearly all of the film's emotional touchstones (such as the oft-repeated "Everything will be ok tomorrow" or the song that first linked the characters) relate to the previous films.

kimchee and black tulips.......2007-07-19
Hye-young and her grandfather live in the Netherlands. To fill her days, Hye-young creates beautiful pieces of artwork and in order to pay the bills she draws or paints people's portraits. However, her favorite type of art is similar to those of Monet and Van Gogh: she likes to create sweeping pastoral paintings. On one such occasion, she fell into a river and lost her bag. Unbeknownst to her, she was being watched by another Korean named Park Yi. Park Yi saves her bag and soon has a bridge constructed for the pretty, young artist. Soon after she notices the bridge, and finds her lost bag, Hye-young paints a pastoral painting of daisies for her benefactor. Each day after that Park Yi sends daisies to Hye-young's workplace and a seed of love is planted into her heart.
But who is Park Yi. A rich art lover whose heart is ignited when he sees Hye-young for the first time? Not hardly. Park Yi is an assassin who works for Hong Kong crime lord. However, after seeing Hye-young his heart is softened and he too begins to love art in order to share part of her world. He might have been content to allow his affections to continue from afar, but one day another Korean man named Jeong Woo enters the scene. How long can a deadly man such as Park Yi stay at rest when the woman of his dreams begins to fall for another? Also, how can he endure the fact that Hye-young believes that Jeong Woo is her daisy man?
The above synopsis only scratches the surface of this quietly enjoyable film. For those primarily familiar with Jun Ji-hyun, should I call her Gianna Jun now?, from My Sassy Girl, her almost completely silent performance in this film will be quite a change. The plot of the movie is a bit unbelievable at times and at some points it leans precariously close to being complete cheese, but there are other elements such as the feeling of loneliness seeped through the film. For those who have lived abroad such scenes as when Hye-young eats a can of sub-standard kimchee with her noodles will strike a chord because it resonates with trying to bring a little bit of the familiar to a foreign land. Also, the stunning camerawork and depictions of beauty both natural and the features offered by the cityscape of Amsterdam are quite wonderful to behold. A good film for those who like Korean dramatic films, Daisy would make a nice addition to any DVD collection.
another great achievement from korean.......2007-04-15
what a wonderful yet sad romance thriller. highly recommended. don't forget to pick up 'the eraser in my head' too. wonderful, wonderful modern day romance stories. beautifully and seriously done. can't believe korean young ladies could be so intoxicatedly beautiful and so naturally talented. the whole movie was shot in holland, the settings were as beautiful as a fascinating oil painting. kow-tou to korean movie industries and all the wonderful actors, you've brought so many beautiful things into the world.

For Die Hards only. .......2007-02-28
This set came out in 2005. It is strictly for die hard fans. There is a limited amount of these sets worldwide.(I forgot the number)The one that I have is similar to this but it has 8 dvds. There are 2 dvds for each film. (One is the feature film, the other is for the extras.)The seventh and eighth dvds tell the Infernal Affairs story in chronlolgical order. It is specially edited so the three films are seamlessly integrated into one long film.The set also comes with a big black hard case to store all the dvds. KEEP IN MIND! I think the set here at amazon is different becasue this is only the 6 dvd boxset. Ask them if the set contains the rare chronological dvd. If it doesn't then I wouldn't buy it.
One word: ESSENTIAL (Infernal affairs I review).......2006-10-07
I just finished watching INFERNAL AFFAIRS with my dad right now. We loved it! It was an action packed thriller with edge-of-your-seat moments.
A man is expelled from a cadet class in his teenage era, then we go to the profile of a man named Lau, a cop who's on both the cop side and the gang side steals his identity, and are chasing each other. But after becoming a mole for the gang side, These two people find themselves fighting over each other's buisness.
This is a fantastic film with plenty thrills. See it!
The Departed.......2006-10-05
When first watching this film, I was blown away with the plot and acting. Then the 2nd and 3rd movie followed up the next year and expectation wasn't disappointed. It's like a Hong Kong "The Godfather" trilogy with cops. I hope the American remake does not disappoint its viewers much like that garbage film "Gangs of New York" staring Leonardo DiCraprio. Great trilogy, great DVD, great deal. Plus you can't find this boxset anywhere. I looked.

Chan is a cop who's been assigned to undercover work inside the Triads for so long that he's been able to rise through the ranks to a position of some authority. Lau, meanwhile, is a secret member of the Triads who has infiltrated the police force with an equal level of success. As they feed their bosses information on the plans and counter-plans of the organizations they pretend to serve, they both begin to feel the stresses of their double lives as they become torn between the oppressive obligations they owe to their superiors and the growing camaraderie they share with the foot soldiers around them. As the two organizations become increasingly aware of the moles in their midsts, the race is on for Chan and Lau to try and get out of the game alive.
