Detective dee and the mystery of the phantom flame

Hey guys. Went to watch Detective Dee and the mystery of the phantom flame yesterday.
Didn't really catch my attention because well.. it's in chinese. Wait! I'm not being biased.. i mean, i love the curse of the golden flower ...

But after the compliments from my sister for this movie and the reviews, i totally agree that this is a must watch. If you're really wondering what the heck is this movie all about, i'll simply say it's Sherlock Holmes but in chinese. Yea thats what the word detective is all about. So did you change your mind about this movie?

Detective Dee is Andy Lau. He received a mission from the empress in which he is to crack the mystery case of. yea the phantom flame.. What happen was that some people living in this big Buddha building was killed. No not literally killed but more like suicide. Their body was burned into black charcoal all of a sudden and it's from the inside of the body that the flame starts burning. Of course, the people were puzzled and live in fear that they might be the next victim.

Okay to cut the story short, basically, detective dee went around searching for clues and tries to link every possible clues together and i'm telling you, when you hear his analysis and conclusion, you will go like, "oh ya... why didn't i think of that" This shows how pro he is. Haha

These three person plays an important role in the movie. The guy with the white/yellowish hair is the one that contributes significantly to the mystery case. He found something (shall not say) that is the key to the case but unfortunately, someone killed him by letting him burn into flames just like what had happened.

But before he was literally burned, he struggles to force out some clues for detective dee to find that key clue. Detective dee manage to find that key clue that he guy found with the help of the clues that he gave. And that helped dee solved the case.

All in all, i must say this is a must watch movie for the weekend. Rating it 4.2/5
