Mad Detective (2007). Another Johnnie To masterpiece, this movie flickers between a heartfelt comedy to a tragic sense of being, to a great study in psychology to intriguing crime drama. And all the time the viewer is left wondering where the line of sanity is drawn; or is it being redrawn as we speak? No matter, as the end of this wonderfully convoluted crime drama perfectly if not bravely ties it all together with satisfying resolve. The acting was top notch, with our main protagonist stealing the show with his zany and occasionally sad antics. The direction oozed of style, and the camera allowed for its dark atmosphere to sneak out stolen color with aplomb. The score was light in tone and perfectly augmented the lightheartedness of insanity, keeping the bleak notion of the story's reality from besmirching our fun. Told with a sense of balance that threatened to be lost at any moment, this was a story with no need of bullet ballets to keep the viewer saddled with tension. Merci beaucoup.

Dark Water (2002)
Yet further proof that the Asians do it better... Dark Water is a fantastic creepy ghost movie... Great atmosphere, suspense, and legitimately creepy moments. Loved the ending too. It's definitely up there with The Ring and Shutter. 4/5.
