In the past few days, the box office war between Detective Kien and Sunny Bracelet has always received attention from the audience. Many people are worried that Detective Tu Kien will be inferior to Sunny Bracelet and will soon be 'kicked' out of the theater, but the new development has made fans wake up.
Two years ago, The Last Wif.e was made by Victor Vu based on Hong Thai's novel Ho Resentment. But instead of going in a ghostly and mysterious direction like the original, the filmmaker chose to steer the story in the direction of romance and romance. Therefore, when they heard that Victor Vu would continue to do a spin-off about the character of Detective Kien, a large number of viewers were excited. And that desire has been rewarded in Detective Kien: The Headless Case.
The content of Detective Kien: The Headless Case follows the events of The Last Wif.e. After her husband was arrested, Hai Man (Dinh Ngoc Diep) returned to her hometown with her granddaughter Nga (Doan Minh Anh) whom she had taken care of since childhood like her own chil.d. However, people in this area are often harassed by ghosts. Eight people were eaten by the devil and lost their heads, and their bodies floated in the river. One day, it was Russia's turn to mysteriously disappear. Hai Man had to ask for the help of Detective Kien (Quoc Huy). From here, many terrifying secrets gradually revealed.
The detective genre is no longer too strange to moviegoers. Movies about Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, Hercule Poirot by Agatha Christie or even the anime Detective Conan exploit a lot of these elements. Therefore, to create freshness, Victor Vu made a case in the case. In addition to Russia's disappearance, there are also a series of cases about eight headless bodies carried out by ghosts.
From these two cases, a series of complex strengths and many ambiguous relationships are intertwined. The pace of the film is quite fast, keeping the rush and drama constantly. The knots open constantly. Victor Vu's way of creating mystery and curiosity is quite good, the plot deployment is attractive, not rambling so that the audience is constantly caught up in the journey of tracing each small piece of the puzzle to solve Detective Kien's case.
Towards the end, Detective Kien: The Headless Case becomes even more dramatic as the pieces gradually create a complete picture. The filmmaker born in 1975 revealed the villain quite early instead of creating the familiar "exposing" scene in common detective films. However, this is not the end because there are many other sensational and unexpected episodes behind. The cast of film characters is large but has a clear role and a reasonable acting land. People who seem unimportant will connect the whole story.
The action and horror elements are secondary but still very well done. The ghost shape in the film is quite unique and creepy, each appearance creates fear for viewers. The battle scenes have beautiful and powerful martial arts choreography, very well executed. The sound part is very good, adding a horror atmosphere to the scary scenes. The sound of thumping music combined with the sound of running water, the sound of the door opening the safe brings a creepy feeling when being clung to by a ghost.
However, for those who have followed the detective genre or are familiar with Victor Vu's filmmaking style, it will be easy to guess many episodes. The endin.g of Detective Kien: The Headless Case is somewhat safe and obvious if the viewer pays close attention to a few episodes from the beginning. In addition, many clues came to Detective Kien and Hai Man too easily, as if they were arranged by the screenwriter and force.d to find them.
Detective Kien: The Headless Case shows Victor Vu's impressive return to the film genre. Although there is still a grit and the script is predictable, the quality of the work is difficult to dispute. Vietnamese cinema really needs cinematic and fresh films such as Detective Tu Kien: The Headless Case, instead of bringing TV series to theaters or rambling into "sticky rice" scary works that have no content value.
