Mad Detective

2007, Movie, 1h 31min

A wild, hallucinatory blend of police procedural and supernatural surrealism, this dizzyingly offbeat crime drama centers on the eccentric Inspector Bun (Sean Lau Ching-wan), a clairvoyant detective who has the incredible ability to see into the minds of criminals but whose strange behavior sidelines his career. When an ambitious young officer (Andy On) enlists Bun to help him solve a particularly challenging case, the pair embark on a twisty investigation that pushes the psychic detective’s already tenuous hold on reality over the edge.
