While watching "Infernal Affairs", I thought for a while that the movie might have been better if I hadn't explained who the undercover agent was at the very beginning of the story. But after reading it, I gave up the idea. If shot like that, the film may flow into an ordinary police and gangster suspense film, and cannot add more emotional factors to the development of the story. However, even if you know who is the police and who is the underworld from beginning to end, the story still has twists and turns, especially at the end, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming each say "I am a policeman", which not only points out the theme, but also makes them fearful, angry and full of contradictions. The reason for the pressure is expressed, and it also brings a dramatic ending to the film, which is a magic stroke. The performances of several supporting roles such as Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Zhiwei, Du Wenze, etc. in the film are not inferior to the two main characters, all of which are very brilliant. Andy Lau and Tony Leung contributed the best acting skills, which is the best interpretation of Infernal Affairs.
