With a single dessert and just two glasses of wine our bill was kept in check - but the effort of doing so was not much fun

Although the first half of Kwei-Armah’s production is pacy, funny and intelligent, the energy level then drops off

I loved this film from start to finish. Take the girlfriend, tell your mum - I'd see it again tomorrow and will buy the dvd.
I saw this last night and can't remember the last time I was so moved in the theatre.
I have been to many of London's so-called best Japanese restaurants and none have been as good as the food that I've had at Aqua Kyoto

Dir: Johnnie To, Wai Ka-fai.
Cast: Lau Ching-wan, Andy On, Lam Ka-tung, Kelly Lin
Description: While most police officers rely on evidence or canny interrogation skills to seek out the guilty, Inspector Bun relies on his off-kilter sense of intuition, somehow able to glimpse the personality of a killer and solve the crime. His partner, Ho Ka-on, is constantly baffled by Bun's flashes of brilliance but when the deranged Inspector severs one ear to prove a point, the veteran officer is permanently suspended from duty. More than a year later, a seemingly unsolvable case involving a missing cop brings Bun out of retirement, joining forces once more with Ho to locate the AWOL officer at the centre of the investigation: Ko Chi-wai.
Country: HONG KONG. 2007. 85mins
This eccentric Johnny To thriller has lau Ching Wan as a detective who is discharged from the Hong Kong force after cutting off his ear and offering it as a gift to his retiring chief. Inspector Ho (Andy On) enlists this madman to find the police gun with which several murders have been committed. With the ability to divine anybody's inner personality and desires, he's bound to find the killer. Hard-boiled and giddy at the same time, Mad Detective was the largest grossing Hong Kong film of last year.
