Infernal Affairs III Details

Clever sequel

First things first. This film will make no sense at all, unless you have seen Infernal Affairs 1. This third episode is both a sequel and a re-visiting of the first film with a brand new character (played by Leon Lai). New perspectives, incredibly twisted plot lines and a superb performance from Andy Lau make this a fitting conclusion to a masterful trilogy.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Rivalry, Revenge and Redemption

While the first two films in the series were gripping thrillers, this one, which spans a timeframe that overlaps the final events of the first film and the months that follow them, just doesn't deliver the same impact. If you've watched the first two, you'll want to see it just to find out what happens to Lau, but be prepared for a more reflective, slower-paced and less action-packed end to the trilogy.
