Not often does a sequel deliver..
By KH08 from North Somerset , 08 Feb 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Empire, Godfather 2 - not often do sequels outclass the original - but another has been added to that list -Infernal Affairs.
Set as a prequel this tell the story of how our protagonists started out. It explores the relationships between the Triads and delivers stunning action, fantastic performances and another magnificant soundtrack.
Often prequels are recommend viewing before the original but in this instance stick with the order.
Enjoy pure class !!- Was this review helpful to you?

(53)Dub titles
By PKPKPK (1 review) , 22 Dec 2012Really poor subtitles, unfortunately. Not a proper translation of the dialogue, shortened for time. 'Dubtitles', if you're familiar with the term. Avoid this version.- Was this review helpful to you?

another race with devil
By juradino (811 reviews) from London , 14 Aug 2011This Infernal Affairs is probably better to watch when you've watched first and third one. It makes sense on its own but it is both prequel and sequel to the first one. They either had IA 3 already made or they realized half way through that there was mileage for the third one. If you like movies you have to watch several times this is one of them. The key link in all three movies for me is that amazing sound system that is more expensive that luxury apartment and the equivalent of Rolls Royce or Ferrari. Hence all bloodshed, never mind drugs and girls.- Was this review helpful to you?

a must see
By prior81 (16 reviews) , 11 Apr 2011An exceptional sequal/prequal of an already amazing film. I was a bit hesitant about watching it as the first film was so good i had serious doubts it could follow it, especially as it seems to be fabricating a story inbetween the 'missing years' of part one.
However i had no need to worry as it holds itself as a film in its own right Although you would benefit from seeing the first one, you can still watch it as a stand alone film. All the characters are developed further to apoint a point it changes your opinion of them to the first. the good guys really do swap places with the bad guys. Its not as complex to follow as some people have made out.
This show up how much better IA was compared to the departed as its impossive for this to be made as a hollywood remake directly connected to scorsese's version. I- Was this review helpful to you?

Gripping gangster film
By Niskin (50 reviews) from Cambridge , 22 Mar 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
This is gripping, but you will only understand it if you have seen the first film. It is very interesting to learn more of the earlier lives of the characters of the first film, and how Sam came to hold so much power. Pretty good thriller but lacking the central pace, plot and drive of the first film.- Was this review helpful to you?
