An incredible true story unnecessarily embellished with banal fictitious details. Michael Shannon's performance as Larry Oster-Berg, some funny lines, and a great basic premise keep it moving along the road, but it needs a much better script to provide the right directions.
Infernal Affairs
Whether it's a morality tale doing undercover work as a thriller, or vice versa, 'Infernal Affairs' is furiously paced, full of drama, and as tense as elevator cable. Highly recommended.
