    An adreniline-fuelled thriller. A spectacular and outstanding conclusion to this brilliant and riveting triliogy. Simply magnificent and dazzeling. Spellbinding, shocking breathtaking and sensational. Tremendously entertaining with plenty of action and suspense to go around. Supe...( read more)rb and remarkable. These films are some of the finest that Chinease cinima can offer. Absolutely unforgettable and incrediable. Andy Lau is extroadinary, he truly gives his character a heart and soul and the belief of redemption.

    After the prequel presented in "Infernal Affairs 2", the third chapter in the Infernal Affairs trilogy continues where the first film ended ... As long as the "Infernal Affairs" you saw was not the version released on the Chinese mainland. If you saw that version then part 3 is g...( read more)oing to make no sense whatsoever.

    Lets assume you didn't.

    So, Lau Ming tries to destroy the final evidence against him, while going head-to-head with what seem to be further elements of corruption left over from Sam's infiltration of the police. It's a fine tale of twists and turns that becomes a little reminiscent of "Fight Club" as Ming becomes increasingly consumed by feelings of guilt. As such it is not as original as the first film, but it manages to avoid being a retread of the material and it remains great viewing. And you do want to see the follow-through from the "You what?!!" ending to the first film, yes?

    The final installment in the Infernal Affairs trilogy takes place right after the events of the the original, as well as introducing two new characters and their roles leading up to and during those events. Add Andy Lau's deteriorating mental state to the constantly shifting time...( read more) line, and it's hardly the most accessible story you are ever going to see, but those willing and able to make the effort will not regret it. It has the same beautiful photography and intelligent script and the psychological spin almost makes it a kind of high brow version of Face/Off. All the leading players are excellent, and the romance between Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Kelly Chen which was appropriated for the script of The Departed is rather more charming and believable in it's original form. For me, better than the second part and a fine finale to the series.

    A great finale to one of my favourite film series. Amazing performances all around and a fitting conclusion to a great story.

    The Infernal Affairs trilogy is a testament to EXCELLENT writing, acting and storytelling. Watch all three together to get the most of the masterpiece!

    The third one wasn't terrible - but it lacks the freshness that we got from the very first film. The plot starts to get confusing ways with the flashbacks and sub plots. The new characters like Yeung (Leon Lai) are so unlikeable. They're not interesting at all. Leon Lai's perform...( read more)ance was SHIT! The only performances I liked was from Tony Leung, the beautiful Kelly Chen and the winner would probably Andy Lau. His performance was great because in this film his character was a bit more different due to some mental problems. The film does build tension and suspense well. Overall, this isn't as good as the first movie - but it's still an ok movie.

    . One who had not seen the first IA, will not be able to comprehend it. There are very frequent flashback scenes with many interlacing of stories. A complex but very intriguing end to the trilogy.

    Slow, boring and confusing. What were they thinking? Continuous flash backs make this one hard to follow. This movie never ends...it just stops.

    "I" was fantastic. "II" was great. "III" was what the hell is going on?
