Contrary to the OP's opinions, I actually found it enjoyable. Lau Ching-Wan's performance was off the hook and Andy On even pulled off a decent performance. I was really surprised at the cameos. I...

I hope that review or tinlun's reply didn't include any spoilers. I'm reading things that I never expected about the film here like "inner ghosts" and what not.

I thought the Aaron Kwok one "The Detective," came out the end of September, and I clearly remember seeing somewhere that Mad Detective was to be released on Oct. 4th. I guess if it's not out yet, it...

while none of Johnnie To's films will ever be as influential locally or worldwide like John Woo/WKW's best works.... but I really think Johnnie To is simply the greatest filmmaker in the history of...

I thought it was good, but not as great as you say it is. The "inner personalities" thing is not really a spoiler: it's actually the whole gimmick, and it works. It's great how things connect even...

I'm pleased to see this is doing well (should be past the HK$10 million mark as I type) as it should mean LCW will get offered meatier roles

I gotta agree with whoever said this was the best movie of 2007. Sean Lau is at his finest in that movie!

Man, I'm really surprised how much you guys all like this movie. Lau Ching Wan's goofy antics get tiring halfway through the film, at which point the story just seems to be made up as it goes along....

josiah, i agree. i dunno what chw means by deus ex machina for the ending...every character and every "revelation" had been hinted at throughout the film. the end simply made all the "confusing"...
