The first Hong Kong thriller
Infernal Affairs (2002) by
Andrew Lau and Alan Mak was
remade as The Departed by
Martin Scorsese. This prequel
is every bit as exciting and
groundbreaking. (A third prequel
was made the same year) The
film opens 11 years before
the action of the first movie,
and so the cast of characters
we know so well from the original
are all young cops here. Stylish
and diabolically plotted.
