INFERNAL AFFAIRS 3 / WU JIAN DAO III
Andrew Lau & Alan Mak, Hong Kong, 2004; 117m
If IA was the present and IA2 was the past, IA3 is a kind of astonishing combination of the two, with interweaving narratives that move the story back and forth in time while it heads to its thrilling conclusion. Police detective Ming (Andy Lau), who's actually a mole for the triads, is once again in good standing after a few questionable killings. All seems fine, except for the emergence of the energetic Security Inspector Yeung (Leon Lai), who Ming suspects might be another triad mole sent to finish him off. Meanwhile, in a separate storyline, Yan (Tony Leung) is now crime boss Sam's right hand, although he's actually a police mole. Fearing that he's out of control, his police handler, Inspector Wong, sends him to psychological counseling, during which all kinds of secrets begin to emerge. A brilliant ending to the series that both sums up and comments on the permeability of good and evil that has figured so prominently in all three films.
