All three films in the Hong Kong gangster epic trilogy. In 'Infernal Affairs' (2002), the cops and the Triads have something in common: each has a mole in their midst. Ming (Andrew Lau) and Yan (Tony Leung) have been leading parallel lives: Ming is a Triad mole who has infiltrated the police department, and Yan is an undercover cop who has, over the years, risen to a position of authority in the Triad gang. Both are dissatisfied with their position, wishing they could put their false lives behind them. Then one night the two men's paths finally cross during a police raid. Both the police and the Triads realise they have informers amongst them, and the race begins for Ming and Yan to get out alive. 'Infernal Affairs 2' (2003) is a prequel, set ten years before the events of the original film. Chen Ying Yan (Shawn Yue) has just become an undercover cop in the triads, while Lau Kin Ming (Edison Chen) is a new recruit to the police force. Bitter enemies in the first film, Inspector Wong (Anthony Wong Chau-Sang) and Sam (Eric Tsang) are behaving like old friends, while Yan is embroiled in the family saga of a triad cartel, and Ming has developed an oedipal fixation on his boss's wife. As friendships fracture and foes join forces, nothing is as it first appears to be. Finally, in 'Infernal Affairs 3' (2003), Ming's (Lau) career is on the slide following the bloody events of the first film, and he has been tranferred to office work while he undergoes an investigation by internal affairs. Suspicious of new rising star Yeung (Leon Lai) Ming begins to investigate his background, convinced that he could be a double-agent working for the notorious Triad gangs. But as Ming investigates, is it possible that he is being led into a trap by the charismatic young officer?

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Infernal Affairs (2002): A mole in the police force. An undercover cop inside the criminal organisation. The objective is the same: each must discover the other before their own position is exposed. Who will succeed and who will pay the ultimate price for their failure? A gripping police Hong Kong police thriller, starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung, the super-stylish Infernal Affairs was the biggest grossing Hong Kong film of 2002 and has even seen the Hollywood remake rights snapped up by Martin Scorsese. Infernal Affairs 2 (2003): Drawing favourable critical comparisons to The Godfather - Part 2, Infernal Affairs 2 similarly explores, in prequel form, the events that took place as Lau Kin Ming (Chen) and Chen Wing Yan (Yue) infiltrated the police and criminal forces... Infernal Affairs 3 (2003): 10 months after the murder of Chen Wing Yan (Leung), the investigation is closed with the conclusion that Ming (Lau) successfully took out the Triad's mole. Relegated to a benign office job and his marriage over, a new star enters the IA team, in the form of the up-and-coming Superintendent Yeung, whose meteoric rise mirrors that of Ming. Suspecting that Yeung is a mole like he was, Ming begins to investigate the new hot-shot... Involving a complex flashback narrative binding the new investigation with the previous events from the first film, Infernal Affairs 3 has invited favourable comparisons with Francis Ford Coppola's classic Godfather trilogy.
