Detective Chinatown Audience Reviews

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
robinsin-05554 I have seen lot of Chinese movies, mostly garbage in terms of story line and quality of production. However this movie was quite well made movie. I'm impressed. Some people may don't like this movie because it is not right taste, but I think this movie was enjoyable and truly entertained. I recommend for who like comedy, action, thriller movie. I do not recommend if you like dark and serious movie.
liyiren This is not just a funny comedy, but also a well-made film with great quality. The actions,funny scenes,dialogues were orchestrated in such a great way that it drew every second of my attention.Wang Baoqiang did a great job in playing a character that is both silly and witty, wild and cowardly, someone you want to slap in the face but also give a dollar out of pity. I usually justify things in a quantitative way. And here is the math:The average driving speed of the vehicles in the movie is about 20% of the avg. driving speed in 007 Spectre; but the car chase scenes are five times more intense with the cars looking way faster that those in 007 Spectre.My opinion might be biased since I was able to "fully" understand the movie with my full Chinese proficiency, and I also thought Spectre was the worst 007 movie which totally wasted two hours of my life. Anyway, I thought this movie was a job well done.
timbermisc I don't speak Mandarin, but I thought it was a quality movie. 100 gags; the audience was laughing lightly through most of the movie. This movie was produced in China and has similarities to a Jackie Chan movie, except that it is slightly better. It has a silly, comedic timing mixed with some serious, violent scenes. The audience was filled. I only speak English, but it had subtitles. They spoke rather fast, so I could not keep up with their words, but the scenes told the story. Basically, two detectives are on a hunt for gold and a murderer. There is everything in this movie: a beauty queen, a tiny amount of sexiness, mobster actors, a straight man comedic partnership, racing scenes, dancing, excellent marital arts fights and beautiful scenes.
BasicLogic Another terrible and ridiculous garbage movie from China, wasted lot of money to shoot it in Thailand. The screenplay was just ridiculous and absurd to the extreme, the casting, Jesus wept, so bad, the acting, I really can't stop my head and neck to shake horizontally. This kind of movies would only be appealed to viewers with low I.Q. and poor education. By keep watching this kind of movies would undoubtedly damage your brain cells, not just your wallet.After the Chinese enjoyed the sudden prosperous wealth in almost every trade you could imagine, lot of people have become so rich, but their tastes simply failed to catch up with their fortune, they just wanted to become 'Investor', or "Movie Producer" and printed such newly added titles on their business cards. They blindly threw their easily earned money once they were approached by some con-artists in the Chinese movie industries before even understood what is what. Therefore, so many media companies jumped into the cesspool to produce movies either trying to release on the big silver screens or on the on-line PC monitors with so many bad screenplays, bad so-called directors and actors. The result is so many barely watchable, so stupid, ridiculous, messy movies were churned out monthly and yearly. The only trick was to sign up certain famous actors, male or female, to be the leading role and put their names on the posters for the selling point. These actors just shamelessly jumped on the money train to make more money while they were still either hot or popular.This god-awful farce is just like what I have pointed out on the above. They signed up a still popular ugly actor to be the main character, an absolutely unbelievable Chinese Thai police detective in Bangkok Chinatown, then with a mix of clowns and jerks to be the supporting characters, adding another young lamer to be the kinfolk of the clown-like Chinatown detective, finally patched up such god-forbidden farce.You have to become a complete idiot to watch this or, you don't have to suffer such transformation since you are already a moron with a complete fried brain, then both of such pathetic beings might enjoy this farce and keep laughing non-stop. Consider this review is a sincere warning with goodwill.
