Mad Detective
Cert: 15
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.
