Secrets of Madame Wong follows a traditional 1980s action-thriller format. The story centers on the pursuit of pirate treasure and the tension between a police commissioner and a criminal organization. The narrative adheres to established genre conventions without attempting to challenge social or gender hierarchies. Although it includes a female antagonist, the portrayal seems to follow traditional cinematic patterns. The story lacks the complexity needed for deeper multi-layered themes, focusing instead on a standard conflict between law and crime.
