The traditional Hong Kong police film is turned on its head: the imaginative twist being our hero Detective Bun (a role created for Lau Ching Wan) who has the ability to see people's inner personalities or hidden ghosts. Breaking new ground and establishing new cinematic rules, Johnnie To's latest giddily entertaining collaboration with Wai Ka Fai radically raises the level of storytelling in modern film. This ingenious realisation of a supernaturally gifted copper is fast-paced and furious, yet also complex and disturbingly funny. (Eureka Entertainment)
