Viewing Notes

A total throwback to ‘90s era Hong Kong films, but basically another take on the MAD DETECTIVE character. It’s over the top and goofy and nonsensical but once you stop caring about those things it’s a fun ride!

We were the only ones in the theater, which is pretty great when it happens.
