Synopsis
Detective vs. Sleuths (神探大戰, 2022) is a Hong Kong crime-action thriller from Wai Ka-fai, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Lee Jun, a once-brilliant investigator long suspended from the force and teetering on madness, is the first to spot a pattern hidden inside a wave of brutal killings.
Every victim turns out to be a suspect from an unsolved cold case the police could never pin down. They're being executed one by one by a vigilante group that calls itself the Sleuths, dishing out their own punishment for the law's failures. Lee throws himself into the chase — racing to crack the scheme before the official task force does and to prove the legend around him was earned. Lau Ching-wan anchors the cast, with Raymond Lam and Charlene Choi alongside him, and the shootouts, chases and crowd-packed finale carry that sprawling Hong Kong scale.
Wai Ka-fai, longtime collaborator of Johnnie To, fuses a psychological whodunit with full-throttle action so that you can't always tell hunter from hunted. It's built for fans of dense Asian thrillers who want the puzzle to outweigh their comfort. Stream Detective vs. Sleuths (2022) online on iFILM.
