There are no new interesting movies today so I have a tip for an Asian flick for you. Mad Detective (or “Sun Taam” in the original name) is an action thriller filmed in China (expect Cantonese audio with English subtitles in this release). It has been presented at various film festivals including Tribeca, Vancouver or Venice and received overally positive feedback (8.1 at IMDB). The retail DVD will be available on 31 January so you can get this dvdrip with few days in advance.
Inspector Bun (Lau Ching Wan) is a brilliant detective who is forced into retirement after presenting his retiring boss with a severed ear. Bun’s gift is that he can supposedly see a person’s “inner personalities,” or hidden ghosts. Years later, Inspector Ho Ka-On (Andy On) visits Bun in an attempt to break the case of Wong Kwok-chu (Lee Kwok Lun), a cop who went missing when he and his partner, Ko Chi-Wai (Lam Ka Tung) were in pursuit of a suspect. Wong has been AWOL for 18 months plus his gun used in a series of armed robberies. Bun comes out of retirement and discovers that rather than being one man, Chi-Wai is a seven spirit collective (with each perhaps representing an aspect of the Seven Deadly Sins). Ho doesn’t know whether to buy into Bun’s sixth sense or simply watch in awe and hope that there’s more than madness to Bun’s method.
