Da hua shen tan

This is a rather obscure crime comedy from Hong Kong, starring Stanley Fung as Detective Ng, who teams up with newcomer cop Ceci (Cecilia Yip) to catch infamous criminal Richard Tai (Pak-Cheung Chan). In doing so, they try to lure him to commit a crime with a large crystal jewel.

Lots of talking and lesser action in this film, but there are smacks of funny moments and slapstick comedy that will serve up some laughs from viewers, courtesy of Stanley Fung and Pak-Cheung Chan. The plot was steady and the story wasn't bad - it's just too bad there wasn't enough comedy in this one, considering all the quality actors that appear in the film.

Grade B-
