Inspector Chocolate | 神探朱古力 | San Taamm Zhyu Guh Lrik

Michael Hui is a inspector, after bungling cases, is put in charge of a kidnapping case. He and is colleague Ricky Hui are now joined by his boss's daughter Anita Mui who also is a Miss HK contestant. Together they investigate the case.

The script is wonderful. It suceeds in somehow managing to blend comedy with a thrilling investigation. Some bits feel tacked on but the acting performances help blend that in nicely.

The acting is simply excellent from all of the main cast. The supporting actors not so much, yet still keeps us engrossed. The actors also keep the comedy and investigation progressing in harmony. Michael Hui is great as the cynical detective in the case, handling his bumbling partners. Ricky Hui complements him perfectly. Anita Mui performance is the best, playing the comic to perfection. Sibelle Hu, plays a TV chef and is the mother of the kidnapped kid and her role is a bit subdued due to the character being the victim.

Movie production is great. It has some great action sequences slightly different from typical HK films but still very entertaining. The music is also well suited and goes well with the mood and theme.

It has all the themes of 80's HK movies and blends a bit of 70's style to it. The pacing is great, and always keeps the interest whether comically or with the investigation. Definitely worth a watch or two! One of my favorite films.which is a comedy thriller about a inspector investigation the kidnapping of a TV chef's kid
