Infernal Affairs

Infernal Affairs primarily evokes strong feelings of Anxiety and Anticipation due to its high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between the undercover cop and the mole within the police force.

Empathy is also a key emotion, as the audience is drawn into the difficult and morally ambiguous lives of both lead characters. The film's crime genre elements contribute to feelings of Anger over betrayal and injustice, and moments that are Disturbing due to the inherent violence and moral decay.
