Mad Detective
Back together again, directors Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai have set incendiary cinematic material ablaze to create a quirkry action-drama. Exposing the dark side of Hong Kong's police force, this also explores the meanderings of a contorted mind as a psychotic ex-policeman with a mysterious supernatural gift proves invaluable in the case of a missing police firearm and its vanished owner.
