If you loved Running Out of Time, try The Mission

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Johnnie To, and they both carry the foreign gem, raw mood tags, and they sit in Action / Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Running Out of Time, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
