A cop goes undercover as a gangster while, simultaneously, a gangster infiltrates the police force, pretending to be a cop. These two sleeper agents live underground for a decade before a series of mistakes clues in all the wrong people as to what's going on and each mole is ordered to root out the double agent--which in both cases happens to be themselves. Torn between conflicting father figures--an avuncular, paranoid gang boss and a morally comprised police superintendent--the two moles slowly feel the net tighten like an icy hand around their necks. Juggling identies, always one mistake from a bullet in their head, and seduced by the attractions of their cover identies, both men slowly unravel, battering themselves bloody against the bars of their own personal hells, while their souls ice over.

A ground breaking movie

This is my favourite movie ever. Where do i begin? The chinese title really ties in with the whole story and this is what sets the show apart from the hollywood remake. The story, supported by the buddhist theories of rustic hell, was intricately crafted into an intense and breathtaking show. The visuals were breathtaking as well and you could tell that the director Andrew Lau had a certain style in his cinematography, which is something not common in movies of this era. Tony Leung and Andy Lau were brilliant actors individually in the first half of the movie and had great chemistry playing off each other in the second half. The suspense was built very well throughout the film and it really deserves 5 stars. A must see for anybody.
