Reviews
Critical reception of "Detective Gui" has been mixed to predominantly negative. On IMDb, the film carries a low rating of 3.4 out of 10, indicating a generally unfavorable response from viewers. Critics have highlighted issues such as a convoluted plot and underdeveloped characters that hinder engagement with the story. For example, some reviews mention that while Wang Luodan delivers a commendable performance, the script fails to provide sufficient depth or tension expected from a detective thriller. The film's pacing and narrative coherence have also been points of criticism. However, a few viewers appreciated the film’s attempt to break away from traditional detective stories by incorporating a reclusive female protagonist and infusing the story with atmospheric mood. Despite these positive notes, most reviews agree that "Detective Gui" does not fully capitalize on its intriguing premise, leaving audiences with an experience that is more dull than gripping.
