(1999) Running Out of Time.
(In Chinese with English subtitles).
ACTION/ DRAMA.
When director Johnny To was given a limited amount of money, he was expected to make the most of what he had and as a result made this self- explanatory masterpiece!! Another ingenious, simplistic storyline never seen before about a dying assassin Cheung(Andy Lau) matching wits and playing cat-and-mouse with Inspector Ho played by Lau Ching Wan- somewhat has a similar style to monster hit "Infernal Affairs" but the difference is that this one has heart and a satisfying conclusion!! The action sequences is somewhat unnoticable because three of the characters is what stands out the most. This was a hit in Hong Kong resulting to making a poor copycat made sequel!!
4/4.
