Detective Bun (Lau Ching Wan) was recognised as a talented criminal profiler until he sliced off his right ear to offer as a gift at his chiefs farewell party. Branded as mad and discharged from the force, he has lived in seclusion with his beloved wife May (Kelly Lin) ever since. Strangely, Bun has the ability to see a persons inner personality, their subconscious desires, emotions, and mental state. When a missing police gun is linked to several heists and murders, hotshot Inspector Ho (Andy On) calls on the valuable skills of his former mentor Bun to help unlock the killers identity. However, Buns unorthodox methods point to a fellow detective and take a schizophrenic turn for the worse. (official distributor synopsis)

A very weird film. On the one hand, a very original plot supported by a great acting duo of Andy On and Sean Lau, who gives the ultimate acting performance and the way he investigates is very black-humored and seizure-inducing, but he is still just a schizophrenic lunatic. The downside is the mediocre direction and visuals and the rather very difficult clarity driven by flashbacks and characters who have actually died but still appear, they are not distinguished in any way so very confusing for me. The ending is pretty good, but it's not more than 4*.
