INFERNAL AFFAIRS 2 is a police/crime thriller in the same vein as its predecessor. The events of INFERNAL AFFAIRS 2 take place prior to the time frame of the original, providing backstory to its events and characters. Stylish, action-packed, and outfitted with a complex roller-coaster of a plot, this prequel will be of interest to any fan of the original. [More]

I was spellbound by this film. I can’t wait to see it again. It is clever on every level: period, music and performance

Expande a história dos personagens, evitando a repetição que caracteriza tantas continuações. O resultado é um filme interessante e, como o primeiro, trágico ao seu próprio modo.

Infernal Affairs II contains strong performances by Anthony Wong and Eric Tsang along with some edgy music by Chan Kwong-wing.

Less show-offy than Infernal Affairs, its prequel is also considerably over-plotted.

More than worthy companion to its powerhouse predecessor.
