Review of Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (2010) by Zane L — 11 Sep 2011
With the right sensibilities to mix the supernatural, martial arts, a detective story and historical drama Detective Dee is a blast to watch. Tsui Hark still can do it. Of course, it helps that the script is tight, and the entire cast spot on.
Add Sammo as the action director and you just can't say no to this. Is an spectacle done very much right, another lesson for big movie studios in how to do an ellaborated action movie that doesn't insult the audience's intelligence.
