Cold War II picks up straight from the first film and is in some ways a more straightforward film, or is it just that I've already been introduced to its cast of characters? Like the first Cold War, the focus of this Hong Kong police thriller is on the upper echelons, as a conspiracy from within tries to discredit the new commissioner. It's still a bit less talky than the first one, and the action set pieces are quite exciting. When I saw Chow Yun-Fat was in this, I might have feared he would be relegated to a very small part as Andy Lau was in the previous chapter, but no worries, he's got a sizeable role. While Cold War isn't textured enough to really be the Infernal Affairs of the 2010s, it's rewarding my patience with what is perhaps a more subtle character story, spiced up by an intellectual chess game and strong action. I plan on checking out Cold War III when it comes out. 6 years ago -
