"A good friday/saturday night movie"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This film was actually a well written film that didn't focus on explosions and gun fights like most types of films do these days, the story and acting was good and the small amount of comedy they mixed in was funny and it didn't affect the movie itself in anyway,

Description

Mad Detective

A missing police pistol is connected to a series of recent heists and murders. Its owner WONG died earlier while pursuing suspects in the mountains. All doubts point to his partner KO (Lam Ka Tung), who miraculously returned unharmed.

Hotshot CIB inspector KA-ON (Andy On) is in charge of the serial murder investigation. He knows the only chance he has in cracking the case is to ask his mentor/former boss BING (Lau Ching Wan) to come out from retirement.

Bing is recognized as a gifted criminal profiler until he went mad several years ago. At his superior's farewell party, Bing sliced off his right ear with a meal knife and offered it as a present. Bing lives in seclusion with his beloved wife MAY (Kelly Lin) ever since.

Critic Reviews:

  • " A stylishly funky Hong Kong thriller from cult director Johnnie To and co-writer/codirector Wai Ka Fai. " – Ty Burr
  • " If the insanely inventive and entertaining Mad Detective weren't so weird – and in Cantonese – hordes of action geeks would be lining the block to see it. " – Manohla Dargis
  • " Expect an inferior American remake within five years. " – Stan Hall
