...longtime dreamboat Andy Lau as the mobster's mole - became its own cottage industry. It spawned a sequel (IA II), a prequel (IA III) and, in glorious Hong Kong fashion, at least two ripoffs (the burlesque Love Is a Many Stupid Thing and a femme version, Infernal Mission). Nominated for 16 HK Film Awards, IA won seven: for picture, director, script, lead actor (Leung), supporting actor (Anthony Wong as Leung's police boss), cinematography and editing...

Like all Woodward products, its tone reflected the moment in time when it was written - in this case, that fuzzy period between Bush celebrating Iraq as a "mission accomplished" and the turning point when the greater national security establishment decided Iraq had become a disaster. In Plan of Attack, Bush and his team were flawed, but well-intentioned; they made both good decisions and bad, and they feuded among themselves, sometimes less than nobly, over the best policies to pursue...
