What The Detective Is About

A private detective working among the Chinese community in Bangkok is hired to find a missing young woman, and the job ties itself quickly to a run of killings. Oxide Pang takes the classic noir shape into a hot, crowded, dusty Thailand, with Aaron Kwok in the lead. The Chinese title means literally C plus Detective, and that is not a joke about the film but a grade for the character: the 2011 sequel is called B plus Detective, and a third film followed after that.
