Darren D @DarrenJD 1 day ago "On the Run" is a taut 89-minute action thriller that lets you know what you're getting into early in the film. Yuen Biao and Pat Ha, as the police officer and assassin, find themselves in an unlikely alliance, on the run through the streets of Hong Kong from corrupt police officers who are desperate and willing to do anything to cover up their involvement in the death of a fellow officer. It’s the catalyst for a series of tense and violent set pieces, with a sense of anxiety that no one will escape unharmed. With plenty of headshots to count, and impressive stunt work leading to a showdown that is 15 minutes of bloodshed.

An honest cop is framed for murder and tries to find his wife's killer, only to be targeted by corrupt detectives. The finale is the only weak part of the movie, going very over the top in the final moments, when most of the action is brutal gunplay for a more realistic tone. Yuen Biao and the girl have chemistry, for a decent crime thriller with a dark edge. See more Read all reviews
