After two sweeping big-budget epics, action master John Woo returns to is signature brand of balletic action. A remake of a 1976 Japanese thriller starring the late Takakura Ken, Manhunt follows a Chinese lawyer who goes on the run when he’s framed for a murder he didn’t commit. Hot on his trail is the relentless Detective Yamura, who begins to suspect that his target may be innocent. Throw in two deadly assassins, thousands of gunshots, and Woo’s signature doves into the mix, and you get a grandiose and unabashedly nostalgic throwback to old school John Woo that fans will gleefully enjoy.
