Heroes, villains, complications

Horribly tangled double lives and intricate gamesmanship with an undercurrent of alienation are just some of the pleasures of “Infernal Affairs” (2002), the first of a trilogy of Hong Kong action pictures. Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai play men with parallel lives -- one is an undercover cop who has infiltrated the criminal Triads; the other is a Triad mole in the police department.
