Andy Lau News

Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame is an entertaining movie starring Andy Lau as the title character, who is based on Di Renjie, a well-known official from the Tang Dynasty. The blending of action and sleuthing brings to mind Guy Ritchie's take on Sherlock Holmes, yet the combination works much better here under the direction of Hark Tsui and Sammo Hung, the latter serving as the action director.

Hong Kong veteran singer Andy Lau has always kept a very low profile when it comes to his personal life.
