Tsui Hark popularized the Detective Dee character with a couple of blockbusters, now we're getting the streamer spin-offs. He's the perfect character, as you can keep building new films around him, which is ideal for the current Chinese market. And it must be said, the result isn't all that bad.
Despite the Dee branding, it's a rather ordinary streamer film, the only difference is that there are some relatively minor detective elements worked into the plot. The styling is pretty lush, the fights are fun and the pacing is slick. It's entertaining and compact genre fun, exactly what I want from a film like this.
