Another winning Hong Kong film from Johnnie To The Mission, Heroic Trio. This time around, he pits terminally ill villain Andy Lau against wily policeman Lau Ching Wan. Lau, with just days to live, would like nothing better than to spend his final moments playing a delicious cat and mouse with a clever, resourceful cop. Through a series of clues he lays out a puzzle for the cop to solve with himself as the prize. Filmed with precision and plenty of panache, Johnnie To gets great performances from his leads, including a - Best Actor HK Film Award for Andy Lau. A great story with filmmaking requiring the big-screen, Running Out was understandably a major box office hit. Directed by Johnnie To. With Andy Lau, Lau Ching Wan, Yoyo Mung, Waise Lee.
