A Freak's Review: The Detective C+

This is one heck of a good movie and I would encourage even the non-fans of Aaron Kwok to watch it because it's not about him, it's about the entire good story.

Tam (starred by Aaron Kwok) is a private detective who has sight problems. He lives by the penny and struggles to make ends meet. One day, a guy named Fatty walked into his office and asked Tam to track down a nameless woman. Fatty believes she wants him dead. With a photo of the woman, Tam begins the investigation.

One photo leads to another, everyone that Tam looks for always ends up dead before he could speak to any of them. He begins to realize that it is going to be a different case. The mystery gets deeper as he ventures to find out more. His curiosity gets the better of him.

The Detective C+ is more than just a thriller. It has a sprinkle of horror and lots of spontaneous laughters. Filmed in Thailand, Aaron Kwok did such a good job acting as a local. He even spoke Thai fluently - I am impressed! I think he played the character so well, it becomes believable. His expressions and body language are well portrayed, I suddenly forgot that he is a superstar in real life. His dark skin complements the character really well.

Also starring are Liu Kai Chi, Wayne Lee and Jo Koo. To all thriller buffs out there, this is one movie you wouldn't want to miss. It's not as thrilling as Bourne Ultimatum but it sure does keep you at the edge of your seat. For a Thailand film to do that, it's a thumb-up!

Foundations Of My Reviews

Books
I believe a good book is one that contains a strong main plot and lots of interesting mini ones to build up to the peak. It has to be written in a simple language that enables the readers to read with ease, not with a dictionary at hand. Most important of all, the characters have to be crafted in such a way that readers will believe in their existence.

Drama Series
Consistency is important as far as characterization is concern. I believe that everyone has a habit of their own that define them. And that is important when it comes to watching a drama. The presentation of the story shouldn't be too draggy as well, because it is a drama series. If it only captures attention in the first few episodes and dies down later on, then it should probably be better of as a film.

Films
A strong message behind film is really important. I hate films that teaches me nothing at the end of it, or films that simply doesn't have a beginning and ending to it. Those are just a waste of time. A good film is one that makes you nod when the credits roll out and you know that when you walk out of the cinema, it was worthy for the dollars you paid.

Games
My definition of a good game would be a partially addictive one with missions and goals to drive the gamer to want to push further in the game world. It has to be user-friendly in terms of controls and settings. The graphic has to be of standard quality because when you are into a game, it hurts when the graphic sucks.

Manga
A good manga is one that keeps you reading from one page to another, one chapter to another, one volume to another. It doesn't get too draggy and the plot must have a pull-string to drive readers to want more of it. Most importantly is the graphic - it has to have details to enrich the reader's imagination to picture the whole scene in mind.

Music
A good music is one with powerful lyrics and a suitable tune to go with it. It might not be accompanied by instruments or vice-versa. It might be a band or solo singer. The most important of all, the presenter of the song has to feel it with their heart before they present it to their audience. That's the best music ever!

Music Videos
I think a good plot is essential in music videos. The purpose of having a music video is to help audience to engage in the song through visuals. It helps to bring the audience to another world where the song makes sense in order for them to experience the music fully.

Personality
Everyone has different preferences when it comes to admiring others. I, for one, admire women who have full control of their life. I look up to women who have made it to the top in the field of their choice. A dynamic personality interests me.

Plays
The essentials of a good play include presentation, the engaging power and outstanding audio system. The storyline is just a vessel to carry out a message. What matters is how entertaining can it be while sending out that message. No one watches a boring play.

Products
A good product have both physical and emotional benefits for the users. It is also affordable and user-friendly. Most of all, it has to leave the users feeling good about themselves.

Video Clips
Lengthy does not mean good. There are some short videos that tell stories as good as a full length film does. Keeping the video short while trying to tell the entire story perfectly - that is a good video clip.
