Film review: Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings (狄仁杰之四大天王) (2018)

Even the spectacular action, set pieces and fairly effective humour can’t make up for the incoherent mess of a narrative in Tsui Hark’s third instalment of the “Wuxia Sherlock Holmes” Detective Dee series.

F
The Big Day is a bit more than a typical movie about a wedding gone wrong — expect family dynamics close to Singaporeans’ hearts and subtle yet effective Singaporean cultural references.
