The Detective 2 / B+ jing taam (2011)
Thriller | Crime | Drama
Solid if underwhelming effort from the usually underwhelming Oxide Pang. Aaron Kwok's return to his dorky "B+ detective" role offers up some minor thrills and chills, but little in the way of character development or actual need. Warning: the movie sets up a sequel. If that sort of thing annoys you, well, too bad.
Starring: Aaron Kwok, Patrick Tam, Beibi Gong
Director: Oxide Pang
