Plot
An undercover cop and a mole in the police in Boston; Best Picture.
Sinekatalog’s take
Scorsese's remake of Infernal Affairs is a fast, profane cop-and-mole thriller with a stacked cast. Less meditative than his best, but propulsive and nastily funny.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
