Viewing Notes
A prequel to the brilliant Infernal Affairs, II plays out more like Godfather II in terms of its scale and scope. It took a bit for me to really get into it (owing partly to the fact that it’d been years since I had seen Infernal Affairs, and so had a difficult time recalling all of the characters) but once I made all the appropriate connections, I really enjoyed it.
Much like the Godfather trilogy, IF II is the second best of the series, but amazingly good in its own right.
