A gangster arranged detective association for find his son's killer..
Nice story screenplay and comedy and finally good twist in climax..
Must watch movie..!!
Grand scale, liable actors and actresses but way too many plot holes and meaningless lines and scenes makes Detective Chinatown 2 a major letdown. Part of what made the first movie work was the grittiness of Thailand sort of matches the two leads of the film, it really accentuates their personality and helps with the flow of the film. But setting it in New York, and using all the landmarks of the city, it really requires something that befitting in an artistic and storyline sense, and the film fails to deliver in that sense. Character motives and story progression is all over the place in the film, although the film does sort of lines everything up towards the end, the journey was already taken by viewers and it was not pretty. Also would have liked them to explain and elaborate on how Tang Ren got to New York in the first place. It just feels the movie was hastily made, and that the Are York and the entire story was added in last second without too much deliberation. The characters and concept works, as it was shown in the first film, but execution really needs to be improved if the franchise is to continue to move forward.

I heard that the third film in the series was massive in china at launch so i fancied getting a taste of what another country loved.
The energy in this film is insane and it looked like everyone involved in it had a blast as well. I've not laughed so many times in a long time. Comedy, over the top characters and slapstick chases should not work with a murder mystery film. But somehow it's a perfect combination. If you can cope with subtitles and like to see something a little different, watch this film. You wont be disapointed.

As a Spring Festival Film, the plot and rhythm are basically passed. It's just that there are too many rubbish lines that make the protagonist's whole super second grade. In addition, there are logical defects in reasoning, which do not rule out that the writers ignore other perspectives according to their own ideas when they write the script, but should you copy homework to improve it? I hope the third part can strengthen the plot and reduce the noise and meaningless plot.
The first hour was pure fun perfectly balancing the comedy and the mystery the next half hour dragged a bit when it tried to look serious but instead kind of looked stupid and the last hour was quite ridiculous. Even with all of that and a string of jokes that just uses stereotypes it was superfun with great 2 lead performances.
