One of my favourite movies of all time. It's a lovely bitter-sweet story surrounded by an edgy plot and plenty of action and bits of humour.The story tells of the ancient partnership of a ghost and a human teaming together to solve cases concerning unhappy ghosts.But with this ancient partnership, comes a burden.This movie does carry on a tiny bit but it's all for the sake of emotional suspense.The plot twists and turns and just when you think you can predict it... I haven't met a single person that hasn't enjoyed it (and I've played this film to a lot of friends)Perfect for a night in, maybe with your other half, it's neither overly violence nor over-mushy.I can't hyper about this movie enough!

Alright, this film wasn't the best in the world. In fact, it probably ranks in the bottom half. Most of the film wasn't very good or inspiring but the bit that caught my eye was the sequence near the end were Wind and Fung were battling it out in the rain. That was probably the best bit. Some good Hong-Kong Wire works but no Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

2002 is the ghostbusting department of the Hong Kong Police. The hero is fated to cause the death of anyone he gets close to, which cramps his love-life somewhat. He gets through partners rather quickly too, since they die, become super-powered ghost partners and then get re-incarnated. His mentor sells paper offerings for the hero to burn for their ghost friends.The script is always intelligent and witty. The action sequences are just right - they move the plot along without dominating it and are great fun. The acting and directing are both excellent and the main characters are likeable and sexy - strong, but vulnerable.We laughed out-loud, especially at the comments that brought the characters down to earth. We didn't actually cry at the pathos but it was there.This review relates to the English subtitled version shown on TV.

Too bad he's only in it for a short while. This whole movie was sort of like Ghostbusters meets Men In Black. It has ghosts, gadgets, as well as my favorite Hong Kong actors, Sam Lee, Stephen Fung, and Nicholas Tse. It offered me a nice escape, and I'm currently watching the making of the movie on the DVD. Unfortunately, that part is not subtitled in English. It is still interesting to watch though.
