Product Information
Directors Johnnie To (TRIAD ELECTION) and Wai Ka Fai (FULLTIME KILLER) team up for this quirky action film that was a huge hit in its native Hong Kong. Lau Ching Wan (BLACK MASK) plays Bun, a criminal profiler who's gone off the deep end. After slicing off his ear at a going-away party, he's forced to turn in his badge. Nevertheless Bun's madness comes with a power: the ability to see people's innermost desires. It's a talent that puts him back into action when the police encounter a particularly baffling case. The line between reality and fantasy bends in this surreal thriller that redefines the detective genre.Product Identifiers

ReviewsIndependent On Sunday - There's bound to be a Hollywood remake in the next year or two. There's more to MAD DETECTIVE than a wacky visual idea û although that would have been enough to make it one of the most entertaining cop movies in some time. My money's on Nicolas Cage for the remake
