This Hong Kong film (with English subtitles) was a really nice surprise. The crazy plot hooked me in the first five minutes. It is about quirky Detective Bun who has a unique gift for solving crimes but crosses the line into insanity and is forced to retire.

Five years later, young Detective Ho who idolizes Bun goes to him for help in solving the mystery of a missing police officer. The plot got a little hazy at times but the excellent acting and striking visuals kept me interested.

The film won Best Screenplay awards at the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards, the 2nd Asian Film Awards, the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, and the 8th Chinese Film Media Awards.
