Review of Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (2010) by Vincent T — 14 Sep 2011

Tsui Hark est de retour avec une grosse production. Suffit de faire les decors et les effets speciaux pour s'en rendre compte. Malgre un rythme inegal, intrigue prenante et grand spectacle sont au rendez-vous. Une bonne surprise.
