    “Big” (Andy Lau of Infernal Affairs, wearing a gargantuan prosthetic muscle suit) is a competition weight lifter and part-time male stripper. One night while dancing at a strip club, Big responds to the frantic exhortations of a comely patron (Cecilia Cheung) and strips completely naked. Unfortunately for Big, she turns out to be Detective Li, and she promptly busts him for indecent exposure. Worse yet, a murder has just taken place in the office above the club, and when Big tries to escape his minor charge, he’s caught by the cops and questioned in connection with the murder.

    Quote:
    Blind Detective, the latest film from Johnnie To, could also be described as a movie about movies, specifically movie-making—not that you would know it from its set-up, however. As the title suggests, the film centers around the exploits of Chong (Andy Lau), a former detective forced into early retirement as a result of retinal damage that left him permanently blind. He’s approached by Ho (Sammi Cheng), a cop who displays brilliant physical prowess in combat situations but lacks Chong’s astonishing intuitive abilities, which she hopes to learn from him directly through hiring him to solve the case of a disappearance of a dear friend of hers back in 1997.Read More »

The film centers on a Japanese photojournalist named Shiomi Akutagawa (George Lam Chi-cheung) who ventures to Danang to document Vietnam’s attempts at rebuilding after the war.
