It may disappoint Western audiences hoping for the big budget magic realism of Hero, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, etc, but despite its not quite so sumptuous staging, Detective Dee is a solidly entertaining mystery adventure, like a Chinese-Hong Kong Young Sherlock Holmes with its intriguing mystery of people bursting into flames in ancient China, a mystery investigated by historically real but embellished Tang Dynasty official Renjie 'Detective Dee' Di.
