Ex-Triad member Jimmy Tsui explains why Infernal Affairs is more accurate to Triad operations than The Departed is to its premise. Tsui's insight highlights the realistic portrayal of the relationship between the police and the Triad in the movie. The movie captures the essence of the Triad and police collaboration, and while The Departed stands on its own, the original seems to have more realism to its presentation.

Ex-Triad member Jimmy Tsui has explained how the 2002 Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs is more accurate to real life than Martin Scorsese's 2006 American remake of the film. The movie follows a police officer who goes deep undercover in the criminal underworld, while also focusing on a criminal who acts as a mole within the police force for the Triad. The film ended up receiving critical acclaim. In 2006, Scorsese made a movie titled The Departed, an American remake which went on to win multiple Oscars,...

God give me strength. Time for yet another “found-footage” movie, this time riffing on The Omen. Well at least that’s what the filmmakers say!

Writen and directed by Bryan Coyne, Infernal tells the story of Nathan (Ostroff) and Sophia (Adair) a newlywed couple, both looking forward to a bright future. Not long after matrimony, Heather becomes pregnant and ushers the pair’s first child into the world, Imogene. It soon becomes apparent that Imogene (Koerner) is exhibiting strange and dangerous behavior, leaving the new parents floundering in their attempt to find answers. When Imogene’s actions become destructive, it becomes clear that forces beyond the natural world are at work, and that something – or Someone – is pulling the strings.

Infernal did not get off to a good start.

Yes, Infernal’s newlyweds Nathan and Sophia’s daughter Imogene is autistic and something strange and evil is being drawn to her. But why? And furthermore, what effect does this have on the couple and how will the demon use this to its advantage, negative...
