Movie propaganda
The birth of a legend.
An explosive prequel to last year‘s huge Hong Kong hit about an undercover cop and a triad mole in the police force, Infernal affairs II finds young men Yan and Ming starting out on their duplicitous journeys. While cop Yan becomes embroiled in the family saga of the cartel he is infiltrating, triad mole Ming is enmeshed in a fixation with the wife of his police boss. Friendships fracture. Foes join forces. Nothing is what it appears to be.
