Watch Mad Detective For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

The Worst Film Ever

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I had not even heard of this film when I bought it, the director Johnny To, neither despite his have a considerable output. I don't know about 'mad' but certainly crazy is a word that comes to mind. I was completely at sea for the first quarter of an hour or so and then in some difficulty for most of the remainder of the film. I still enjoyed it, however, and knew there was a key to unlocking the complete sense that I had every confidence was there. By the end I am grinning madly at the arranging and re-arranging of the bodies and the guns so that the final shoot out will make the right sort of 'sense' to the senior police. Basically our ex-cop, helping out with a new case is able to see people's inner personalities. This results in more than one person representing them on screen. There is also some confusion as to the whereabouts of the guy's wife who may or may not be there, or elsewhere, most of the time. I hope I haven't made this too easy to follow because having watched this open-mouthed and my brain struggling to make sense of the action, I recommend the same to anyone else.

Inspector Bun has a weird style of solving crimes and he has the ability to read inner personalities of people. Due to this behavior, he gets fired from the force. One day, Inspector Ho approaches Bun to help him in an ongoing case about a missing police officer. It's a movie that plays with your mind and force you to keep guessing throughout the movie. Ching Wan Lau plays the weird Bun character and brings all the emotions that the character demands. The concept of the movie was very simple and a thorough characterizations helps to an ending that is definitely worth the wait. Overall, it's a highly recommended for those who are looking for a serious crime thriller movie.

If you are familiar with Monk, then you won't find this to be much different, even though it is Chinese.Inspector Bun (Ching Wan Lau) is mad. Not mad, as in angry, but certifiably insane. Nevertheless, he has a gift, and is called out of retirement to solve a case.Johnnie To and Ka-Fai Wai have delivered a film that is unique. It will have you questioning what you see and trying to make sense out of it, but, if you persist, you will be rewarded.Andy On is Inspector Ho, who calls on him for help to solve the disappearance of Officer Wong (Kwok-Lun Lee). He is excellent in the role.Riveting.

When i come out from the cinema,the first thing i want to do is buy one more ticket and watch this film again. Because if you miss a little part of this movie, maybe you will be confused,and can't understand the story. So, the night before you watch this movie, please sleep earlier, and keep a clear mind. The story of this movie is about a "crazy" former police(Bun) helping a police on an investigation of an series of recent heists and murders. Bun has the ability see into a person's inner personality ( as ghost in the movie ), everyone has ghosts in their mind, sometimes you can see other people's ghost, but maybe you can't see yours or you will be blind to your ghost. This is the best Hong Kong movie ever. I think this movie should win more award and Lau Ching Wan will be all time best actor in Hong Kong. Hope Johnny To and Wai Ka Fai will bring more new idea ,new stuff, and more more more good movie for Hong Kong.
