A wrongfully accused prosecutor becomes a fugitive, hunted across three countries while trying to expose the real killer. John Woo's international thriller moves at a sprint, mixing Hong Kong action sensibilities with a globe-trotting crime plot. It's a procedural disguised as a chase film—propulsive, stylish, and eager to please.
Should you watch it?
Watch it if you like a lean chase thriller where a wrongly accused man must outthink the system that has turned against him, with the plot doing the work and little time spent on flourish.
Skip it if you need character depth or a fresh spin on the framed-man story, since this one plays its familiar setup fairly straight and leans on momentum.
What it asks of you: Its shape is brisk and lean at 106 minutes, mostly forward motion, with chases and pursuit carrying the story more than conversation does, so settle in ready to keep moving.
