Infernal Affairs Box Set (Blu-ray, Criterion Collection)

This collection presents all three films in the blockbuster Hong Kong trilogy that inspired Martin Scorsese's Hollywood remake, THE DEPARTED. The original INFERNAL AFFAIRS (2002) follows the parallel lives of a cop (Tony Leung) working undercover as a mobster and a mobster (Andy Lau) who has infiltrated the police force. INFERNAL AFFAIRS 2 (2003) offers a prequel, while INFERNAL AFFAIRS 3 (2003) ties up loose ends. All three films are both commercially and critically acclaimed for eschewing over-the-top action in favor of a more stylized and subdued storyline that builds on emotional and psychological tension. See individual titles for further plot details.
