"Better plot, not particularly original, but fun. Unlike the first film tho, some of the gunless fights were not that justified"

"First viewing - May 19th OK, so obviously this was not going to match the excellence of its predecessor. That film had a perfectly composed script, full of clear objectives and obstacles, and loaded with impressive action sequences from start to finish. Naturally the sequel is loaded with some impressive action sequences too, though as the world is expanded I felt like there were too many subplots going on to the point we even lost track of our protagonist at times.

"28.6. Blu-ray Peruslaadukas gangsteridraama (toki Infernal Affairs'n vaikutus on turhankin ilmeistä) huikeilla toimintakohtauksilla on kyllä aika kaukana edeltäjänsä mahdista. 2,5h kesto on auttamatta liikaa, jolloin turtuminen vuoroin tavanomaiseen kerrontaan ja vuoroin mäiskeeseen on väistämätöntä.
