Infernal Affairs III
Of course I have seen the first and the second movie; it’s even been years ago and I would see them again in a heartbeat. Just as I have expected, this is totally not the case for the third part. I think that the contents of the movie were quite memorable (unlike the storyline of the other two parts which I feel I have forgotten already, and so I keep re-watching them to remind myself again).
The most redeeming factor of the film are a. the nice soundtrack and cinematography, b. the brilliant actors and c. the nice ending which actually made sense. While the end was a little sad for our favorite character Lau, I ended up sympathising with Yan’s friends a lot, and have come to like the fact that their efforts in honor of their friendship were rewarded.
In the end, while it was actually good and actually worth a watch, I admit that the film is a treat for die-hard fans of the prequels, but most definitely not interesting from any other aspect at all.
