Set between the years 1991 and 1997 this second instalment begins 10 years before the events of Infernal Affairs. The young Yan and Ming, (played here by Shawn Yue and Edison Chen respectively) are just starting out in their roles as police stooge and triad mole. The story begins in a police station where Inspector Wong (Anthony Wong) and Sam (Eric Tsang) bitter enemies from the first film behave like old friends. Yan is embroiled in the family saga of a triad cartel inextricably tried to his origins, while Ming is enmeshed in an oedipal fixation with his boss's wife. Expanding considerably upon the now legendary original, this acclaimed prequel develops the mythic feel of the saga. Friendships fracture. Foes join forces. And nothing is as it appears to be.

Infernal Affairs 2 review by JN
Very enjoyable and clever

I really liked the first one, and this one is as clever, although maybe not quite as gripping emotionally.
This story overlaps with turn of the century Hong Kong history and the changes with the handover as well as the internationalisation of the networks (both police and mob) with the changes. This added "historical" connection really works in the film, it makes it more immersive and believable.
Apart from that it is a bit "more of the same" except the lines are even more blurry between law and crime.
