Zhuibu follows the journey of upstanding lawyer Du Qiu, who is unwittingly drawn into a murder case when all the evidence at the scene points to him being the perpetrator. Knowing that he's been framed by Luo Zhi, Du Qiu runs from the law to uncover the truth. The police launch a large-scale manhunt, but veteran detective Yamura sees that this seemingly open-andshut case is not that simple after all. During the intense pursuit, a bond begins to build between the fugitive and his pursuer, even though Yamura knows that he can't fully trust Du Qiu. Is the real killer lurking elsewhere? Is there a hidden conspiracy behind the murder? (Venice International Film Festival)

After a long hiatus, John Woo returns to what he does best, trashy bloodshed in slow motion, although this time he didn't overdo it so much. Story-wise, the film didn't interest me too much and especially in the first half I was slightly bored, but from the first big shootout in the house, which was quite possibly the best of the whole film, things gained momentum and didn't let up until the end. It's pretty bloody, there's not much room for fights, it’s mostly shootouts, and sometimes I felt that it was too mindless, but the purpose of an action B-movie is fulfilled. It's okay for one viewing, but I'm not impressed. 60%.
