For the few reading this who haven?*t yet seen the film, it's best to go in knowing as little as possible - The Sixth Sense and Fight Club toyed with a similar plot device but Mad Detective avoids the join-the-dots approach to story-telling and makes its audience do its own detective work but once you surrender yourself to the film's hallucinatory weirdness you'll begin to wonder why all films aren't made like this...

The above text was taken from a list of Top 10 Favourite HK films vistors to A Hero Never Dies were asked to contribute - it's a great place to discover HK Cinema...

Thanks Wes.

I've seen Mad Detective and have the excellent Eureka blu-ray release. It's indeed a really great film, and the weirdness works really well in what is essentially a hard boiled crime drama.

I'll have to check out your review and explore that site, too.
