Acclaimed director Johnnie To (The Heroic Trio, The Mission) is on top form with slam bang action-thriller Running Out of Time and its equally electrifying sequel.
Expert hostage negotiator Ho Sheung-sang (Lau Ching-wan, Black Mask, Mad Detective) is drawn into a psychological game of cat-and-mouse when a criminal mastermind with weeks to live (Andy Lau, Infernal Affairs, House of Flying Daggers) decides to take on the entire Hong Kong Police Force. There’s more to his plan than meets the eye, but can Inspector Ho figure it out and catch him in time? He’s got 72 hours to try.
A huge box office hit, Running Out of Time swept the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards and spawned a popular sequel in Running Out of Time 2, in which Lau Ching-wan returns as Inspector Ho - this time in pursuit of a sophisticated art thief with a taste for drama and theatrical flair.

Two of the most fun movies ever made
It’s hard for me to think of many films that give me more enjoyment than these two. The first has a perfect mix of drama and comedy, and the second takes the structure of the first one and gets a bit more experimental with it. I highly recommend this release; they’re excellent movies with solid special features and well-translated subtitles. I really hope Arrow puts out more Johnnie To films in the future—he has to be one of the top five directors ever, as far as I’m concerned.
