Canny Hong Kong hostage negotiator Ho Sheung-Sang (Lau Ching Wan) faced the challenge of his career when a terminally ill criminal (Andy Lau) gave 72 hours to find himself and his captive in a labyrinthine office building. Could the bizarre chase be hiding a more heinous endgame? Johnnie To's riveting actioner "Running Out of Time" (1999) co-stars Suet Lam. Then, To and Lau return for "Running Out of Time 2" (2001), as Ho squares off against a cunning magician/thief (Ekin Cheng) looking to run a market-collapsing blackmail on a CEO (Kelly Lin). 188 min. total.
