Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame

This was very good very fun mystery film. I like that you don't know what the rules are any more than the people in the film do, so you don't know how things happen until they figure them out. And the world they live in is lovely, the buildings and the grandeur and the depths of the underneath world. Plus awesome nasty effects for the people bursting into flame parts.

I did not so much like that people kept dying. But it turned out to be one of those times when nobody is a good guy and lots of horrible death keeps happening. I like it better when kick arse women live to see the sequel.

Maybe I should find some sort of recs list too.
