It says much about the colourful characters, thrilling action and inventive visual effects that Chen Sicheng's odd-couple caper never gets tedious over its 135-minute duration.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sharp and fast-paced buddy-cop film with a twist. Pace is more reminiscent of the Golden ages of Hong Kong film, making it one of China's best detective films in recent years.
