". . . a story about a mafia mole infiltrating the Hong Kong police force and his counterpart, an undercover cop planted in the triads. A crisis of consciousness arises from both the former's struggle to become a real policeman and the latter's desire to regain his true identity. . . . Infernal Affairs conceals the question of a postcolonial identity in the twists and turns of a thriller tradition." (Howard Choy, "Schizophrenic Hong Kong")
