Infernal Affairs is movie based out of Hong Kong and was released in 2002. It is definitely one of the best movies I have seen come from Hong Kong. Watching this movie really makes you feel like you are on a roller coaster on the edge of your seat the whole time because you don’t know what’s going to happen next and who is really on who’s side. This movie is about an undercover cop acting as mole within a gang and gang member acting as mole in the police department. The fact that no one knows that they are moles makes the movie very interesting and has you wondering what’s going to happen next.
The movie was remade in 2006 in the movie called “The Departed”. If you have seen Infernal Affairs and watched “The Departed” after you will see why the original is always so much better. The actors in Infernal Affairs are very well-known actors and this movie only proves why they are. If you enjoy suspense and thriller this movie is by far my favorite in that category. The story of this movie is just amazing, from beginning to end you will be biting your nails trying to figure out which side will figure it out first and what will happen.
Overall I highly suggest seeing this movie. This movie hits all the bases and much more when it comes to plot twists and cliffhangers.

Old Boy is a Korean movie which was recommended to me by many of my friends at the movie stand that I get my international films from. I wasn’t really too sure what to think because all I was really told is that it is good and that it is about revenge. I thought okay well that sounds interesting at least so I picked it up and watched it, and oh boy was I in for a twisted ride that really went deeper into revenge than I could have ever thought. The movies is about a man who is locked up in a hotel for 15 years not knowing why or who is being so cruel to him. Once he gets out he doesn’t really know how to respond to the “outside” world and is still confused and distorted, but he does know one thing, he wants to get to the bottom of who locked him up and why and how to bring revenge upon them. That’s all I will say because I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone. The movie has many action scenes and some disturbing scenes, but I give the movie two big thumbs up for being different and going where no one ever went.
If you want to watch a bizzare thriller that’s like no other try out Old Boy. I warn you, this movie isn’t for all tastes, but it is a great movie if you can handle it.
