The Detective 2 is a 2011 Chinese crime thriller directed by Oxide Pang and starring Aaron Kwok, Patrick Tam, and Beibi Gong. The movie is a sequel to the 2007 film The Detective and picks up the story of private detective Tam (played by Kwok) as he takes on another case that proves to be more twisted than anticipated. The movie begins with Tam losing his love interest, Mae (played by Wei Zong Wan), after he failed to solve a case that involved her father. Mae, who was a journalist, died while investigating the same case. Tam is heartbroken and still struggling with guilt when a rich businessman, Lee Chi-ngai (played by Tam), hires him to investigate his daughter's kidnapping.

Tam teams up with his old partner, Fung Chun-kit (played by Tam), and starts to investigate the case. As they dig deeper, they realize that the case isn't overly complicated, but it has many layers. They discover that the kidnapping is related to a gang that is involved in illegal mining activities. The gang is led by a man known as Black Bear (played by Lu Yi), who has connections with the mainland Chinese government.

The movie is full of twists and turns as Tam and Fung uncover more information about the case. They also discover that they can't trust anyone, not even the people they thought were on their side. There are many double-crossing characters in the film, which adds to the tension and suspense.

One of the standout performances in the movie is from Beibi Gong, who plays Lau Po-yee, the kidnapped daughter of Lee Chi-ngai. She gives a believable and emotional performance as a victim who is caught up in a much bigger scheme. Aaron Kwok also delivers a strong performance as Tam, showing the character's vulnerability and pain while still being tough and smart.

The Detective 2's pacing is well done, and it keeps the audience engaged throughout the movie. The cinematography and music are also notable, adding to the dark and tense atmosphere of the film.

The movie explores themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the corruption of power. It also touches on the issue of illegal mining, which is still a relevant issue in China today. The Detective 2 is an entertaining thriller with an engaging storyline, great performances, and impressive production value. It's a must-see for anyone who enjoys a good crime drama.

Overall, The Detective 2 is a well-made movie that builds on the success of the first film. It's a worthy sequel that doesn't disappoint and will keep audiences on the edge of their seats until the very end.
