Featured review
Time is of the essence... again...
I watched the first "Running Out of Time" years ago, but I can't say that I really remember it. But now having sat down to watch the sequel - which I happened to find by sheer luck in my search for Asian movies on Amazon - then I think I will sit down to watch part 1 again soon. Why? Well, because part two was quite enjoyable.
It was a nice change of pace for a Hong Kong movie, to have a police movie that didn't include over-the-top action sequences or shoot-out scenes. "Running Out of Time 2" is cleverly put together with great acting and good dialogue. Plus the storyline was compelling and always managed to keep me interested in seeing what was lurking around the next corner.
The story in "Running Out of Time 2" is about a thief who has stolen some valuable items from an insurance company and is demanding a rather high ransom for the return of these items. The thief (played by Ekin Cheng) seems to always be one step ahead of the police department. The clever detective Ho Sheung Sang (played by Ching Wan Lau) is put on the case and has more than his hands full trying to catch up with the brilliant and slippery thief.
"Running Out of Time 2" is a cat-and-mouse story, that is clever and well thought through. Great entertainment and loads of good scenes throughout the movie. Normally I am not much fan of Ekin Cheng's work in movies, but I will say that he actually did a rather good job in this movie.
If you enjoy Asian cinema and Hong Kong cinema in particular, then you owe it to yourself to sit down and watch "Running Out of Time 2" - it is a police movie unlike many others. Well worth the time and effort to sit down and watch.
