This is an Ultra snappy and fast Crime Action of the kind i haven't seen from Hong Kong since the second part
of the 1980's and HYPERKINETIC would be the correct word to describe it. Everyone moves fast, talks fast and
shoots fast, hundreds of people are gunned down, criminals as cops, almost everyone dies.
Fasten your seatbelts! It's funny and with a convoluted tricky plot so be alert, but it's also trashy and you have
to turn off your brain to enjoy it. A turned off brain vs. an intricate plot usually doesn't work that well though.

The film starts with The Butcher Case where a man, Keung, is accused of the serial killing of 30 women and is
shot by the policeman Auyeung (Tan Kai). Then jumps to 4 years later and The Devil Cop Case where 3 cops
are shot in a back alley and an unknown perp makes it look as the cops shot each other.
17 years later The Chosen Sleuth's Case shake Hong Kong where young activists/terrorists acts as avengers
and murders a bunch of people by burning them alive on a harbour Pier, and leaving a painted message to the
Police .... the text "The Chosen Sleuths" and old police case numbers.

Investigating the killings are the Hong Kong police and parallell to them, the homeless and mentally ill ex-cop
Jun Lee (Sean Lau/Lau Ching Wan) once a legendary investigator cop but now "investigating" imaginary
cases and talking to imaginary people. Jun Lee says he's the chosen sleuth and that hi's never wrong.
Jun Lee is sure that Keung and the shot cops were framed and also that there's a mole in the police force.

Film is presented in anamorphic widescreen 2.35:1 and with cantonese (or mandarin) audio DTS 5.1 or DD 5.1
