Running Out of Time 1 & 2 - The Masters of Cinema

Double bill of Hong Kong action thrillers directed by Johnnie To. In 'Running Out of Time' (1999) Andy Lau stars as Cheung Wah, a master criminal who learns that he is suffering from a terminal illness and only has 72 hours to live. Determined to use this time to take revenge on the police and his gang rivals, the criminal genius initiates a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the authorities. Only tough police negotiator Inspector Ho Sheung Sang (Lau Ching Wan) can see through his plans, but during a final confrontation between the two men, Cheung Wah reveals his last deadly trick. In the sequel 'Running Out of Time 2' (2001) Ho Sheung Sang has been promoted to superintendent, but is bored with his new desk job. When a mysterious criminal mastermind calling himself Ken (Ekin Cheng) blackmails a large corporation for 20 million dollars, he has the opportunity to get back into action.
