A good one. A little confusing sometimes but I suppose that was intended. Solid performance of the actors and a good script.

In short: Good neo-noir crime mystery somewhere between Monk, The Sixth Sense and Asian hard-boiled movies like The Chaser. ----- Random thoughts: Mad Detective is not as violent as say "I Saw The Devil" except for one gory scene at the very start. It's a weird scene, and doesn't quite fit the tone of the rest of the movie. There aren't many action sequences, but they're okay. As a Westerner, telling the young male actors from each other was hard at times. Even though they're very different movies, I'd like to compare Mad Detective to The Wailing. They both attempt to pull the same trick: keeping you guessing what's what until the very end, and make you change your guess multiple times on the way. The Wailing, being the masterpiece that it is, succeeds way better at doing that. Plus it has mesmerizing performances by at least 2 of the protagonists. ----- Verdict: Good (7/10)

Interesting movie and script.

The cut is a bit messy and sometimes is difficult to follow but it is quite original and has a good ending.

Mad Detective is probably best described as a police thriller with mystery elements that you have seen and never seen before all at once.
If you relax into the film and let it take you where it wants to you will have an engaging and entertaining 90 minutes or so. The story starts with a clearly di More
