Hark Tsui genre-bends like mad crazy, so wrapped in this cinematic package is: Mystery, intrigue, thriller, kung fu, politics, horror, fantasy, comedy and even a dash of adventure, as well as romance. Erm, you know what? I think I'm also just going to say it's what happens when you cross "Sherlock Holmes" with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"...Yeah, I know that makes me a hypocrite, but that's easier to say and I am incredibly lazy.
