This was a chinese new year film in China that had raving review.
One of the biggest surprise was Mr. Chow Yun Fat did a long ass 10 min court scene in english creating a huge buzz.
1) Movie made a lot of money (in Chinese terms) - it was 400 Million USD.
2) The whole thing began as the director who was also the script writer did 3 versions of these mystery in chinatown series giving him claim to fame.
b) he wrote this one setting back in 1900
3) John Cusack is in the movieeeee, he's alive!!!
4) it was a movie play on sherlock holmes mystery taking place in the chinese / san fran era
Summary - the movie is not for everyone as mainland china movie tries to pivot to many direction and then tying it all in together. It took a LONG 2 hours to bring it all in together so people might fall asleep.
Murder, revolution, mystery, chinese, natives, white american, unions, story within a story within a story.
