Movie Review: Infernal Affairs

Wow, what a great, twisty movie. A police superintendent is trying to take down a mob boss, but the boss has a mole in the police force. Fortunately, the police have a mole in the mob. Each side finds out about the other's mole, and assigns the mole to hunt down themselves. Lots of turns here as each side briefly gains the upper hand, and each mole has to decide on which side their loyalties lie. I haven't seen The Departed yet, which is an American version of this film, but it's on my list, and this film has only made me more interested. And thank goodnees they didn't go with the alternate ending found on the DVD - that would have been horrible. Five stars.
