The Detective

"The Detective" (C+偵探, 2007) is a Hong Kong crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Private investigator Tam takes a case that looks simple — locate a young woman who supposedly wants his client dead. The money is good; the job looks routine.

It isn't. The list of potential victims grows, the leads circle back on themselves, and Tam starts to suspect the real target might be him. Director Oxide Pang Chun builds a slow, shadowy noir with Aaron Kwok in the lead — restrained and methodical in a genre that usually runs hotter. Stream "The Detective" online on iFILM.
