Running Out of Time (1999) Am zin (original title): Police inspector and excellent hostage negotiator Ho Sheung-Sang finds himself in over his head when he is pulled into a 72 hour game by a cancer suffering criminal out for vengeance on Hong Kong's organized crime Syndicates. (7.2)

Even though an English track is available, I watched this in Mandarin w/ English subtitles. An interesting cops and robbers story where the cop actually can identify himself with the bad guy. I liked the fact that the movie actually used quite a lot of outside shots, thereby letting us see the Hong Kong skyline a bit. My Rating: 6.5
