TrailerDetective Bun was recognised as a talented criminal profiler until he sliced off his right ear to offer as a gift at farewell party of his chief. Branded as mad and discharged from the force, he has lived in seclusion with his beloved wife May ever since. Strangely, Bun has the ability to see inner personality of a person, their subconscious desires, emotions, and mental state. When a missing police gun is linked to several heists and murders, hotshot Inspector Ho calls on the valuable skills of his former mentor Bun to help unlock the identity of the killer. However, Buns unorthodox methods point to a fellow detective and take a schizophrenic turn for the worse.Actors: Ching Wan Lau, Andy On, Ka Tung Lam, Kelly Lin, Kwok-Lun Lee, Choi-ning Lee, Flora Chan, Siu-Fai Cheung, Suet Lam, Jay Lau, Eddy Ko, ...»Director: Johnnie To, Ka-Fai WaiCountry: Hong KongDuration: 89 minQuality: SDRelease: 2007IMDb: 7.1Rating(0) Voted0 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "Mad Detective"
Boston GlobeAugust 08, 2008A stylishly funky Hong Kong thriller from cult director Johnnie To and co-writer/codirector Wai Ka Fai.
New York PostJuly 18, 2008Mad Detective doesn't always make sense, and you cannot always tell what is real and what is imaginary, but viewers will be having too much zonked-out fun to care.
New York TimesJuly 18, 2008If the insanely inventive and entertaining Mad Detective weren't so weird -- and in Cantonese -- hordes of action geeks would be lining the block to see it.
AV ClubJuly 17, 2008Fleeting confusion and bizarre literalization aside, Mad Detective is an effective mystery story, with an oddball hero -- like TV's Monk, but far crazier -- and some moments of visceral violence that raise the stakes.
Time OutJuly 16, 2008Every moment in Mad Detective seems engineered for maximum oddity; it almost becomes overwhelming...Yet the movie feels adventuresome, too, a new bridge to Asiaâ(TM)s soulful ghost canon. Itâ(TM)s a metaphysical mystery masquerading as a doodle.
Village VoiceJuly 16, 2008Even if you lose track of who's shooting whom and why during the abstract climactic face-off, the clever last shot shows you're not alone.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsMay 09, 2010An inventive oddball pic that's diverting and borders on the ridiculous but never becomes uninteresting or completely loses its way.
Little White LiesAugust 09, 2008Cleverly scripted, brilliantly acted and masterfully edited, Mad Detective explores the very human capacity to lose one's moral centre in a crisis.
NewsBlazeJuly 21, 2008More comical than compelling, but what do you expect of a chopsocky revolving around a head case of a hero begging to be buried alive in order to channel his psychic powers?
Film Journal InternationalJuly 18, 2008A freewheeling narrative that twists around its central themes with manic intensity.
Filmcritic.comJuly 17, 2008too cluttered to be engrossing or even entertaining
