IMHO, this score is a bit overrated. Especially those who commented that this film is better than "Infernal Affairs", I disagree. Everyone in Infernal Affairs struggles and resists their fate. Andy Lau wants to get rid of his gang identity, so he will check who the undercover policeman in the gang is, and will kill Zeng Zhiwei himself. Including Tony Leung, the fate of everyone in Infernal Affairs is helpless, which really fits the meaning of "Infernal Affairs" in the title "Infernal Affairs" means "Infernal Affairs". There is no reincarnation in entering the endless hell, only eternal suffering, and both protagonists are seeking reincarnation.
On the other hand, in this film, the IQ of all the supporting characters is seriously offline, especially Li Zhongjiu, as the leader of the gang, he succeeded after being slightly alienated by the police, which is simply mindless. Ask a bunch of younger brothers to take knives to block people, South Korea's No. 1 gang without even guns. Don't you understand assassination? I can't assassinate, at least learn from others to kill your boss and drive into a car (the boss didn't tell me who ordered the car to crash and kill), I had to break up my little brother, so that after he came out, there was no one under him, I really am convinced . Group gangsters, when there are a large group of people below, they are all decorations, and they have no subordinates at all. Why does the group support them? Not at all reasonable. And the policeman, it's not a problem to put eyes next to the undercover agent, and the undercover wife will also threaten. There is no truth to the word, only coercion does not even induce incentives, so that the undercover cannot even see the opportunity to go ashore. With such a senior officer, can the undercover turn back? How can there be a reason to let the undercover gangster be the boss, become the boss and then recruit the gang? Whoever came up with this plan is really cool. Let's talk about the four funny killers from Yanbian... This kind of killer is the most powerful in it, do you know why? Because they have guns! No wonder who this gang has the bigger fists, whoever has more people and who is awesome. I wonder if this group company doesn’t need to be a good eater, what kind of group company is more than the fist adult?
A story that can be told in an hour and a half, dragged to the end and forcibly provocative. The whole film gives me the feeling that it is indistinguishable, I want to be black but not completely black, I want to explain something but I don't understand it clearly, it is nothing more than brotherhood and human nature. Infernal Affairs expresses its helplessness for fate, and all the crimes and punishments are more real and moving. Just the words "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman" will get rid of New World Eighteen Streets.
