The movie

In the year 690, a series of mysterious deaths jeopardizes the first empress’s access to the throne; an investigation is in order... In adapting the adventures of the famous Juge Ti to the big screen, Tsui Hark indulges himself and blurs genre boundaries: detective story, action film, political intrigue, comedy, along with ghosts and martial arts all combine to give you a fantastic show of a movie.
