Two police pursuit drivers, a hothead rookie and his long-suffering, almost-retired mentor, face off against an escape car driver from the latter's past.

Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Pointless loser I gave this film this score because its in no way terrible, but compared to other films in the category its fairly poor quality. But the over all action is decent.There's basically a couple of police or whatever they are called in the poor Asian country that is still rich enough to have cars. And basically as far as I could piece together they have not managed to figure out if they use CCTV they can electronically fine people if they do something wrong. So basically most of the movie is these kinda weird cops chasing down anyone that they see fit which I am guessing are mostly criminals.There's some dialogue here and there and one scene with them trying to go slow but have high RPM in the car where the guy touches another guys arm kinda gay like, but anyway moving on.Basically think Fast and Furious - without the awful soundtrack and characters trying extremely hard to remain relevant for more than one movie. In fact go a step further and Imagine 'Fast but not so furious'.If you want a movie you don't have to pay too much attention to but the payoff for that tiny amount of attention is good this is the one.
sydneyswesternsuburbs Director Pou-Soi Cheang who has also created other classic flicks, Dog Bite Dog 2006 and Kill Zone 2 2015 has created another gem in Motorway.Starring Anthony Chau-Sang Wong who has also been in other classic flicks, Exiled 2006, The Mission 1999, Hard Boiled 1992, Full Contact 1992, Ebola Syndrome 1996, Big Bullet 1996 and Beast Cops 1998.Also starring Shawn Yue.Also starring Xiaodong Guo.I enjoyed the action.If you enjoyed this as much as I did then check out other classic car flicks, Curve 2015, Driven 2001, The Fate of the Furious 2017, Wheelman 2017, Cop Car 2015, Night Fare 2015, 11:14 2005 and The Hitcher 2007
Sayasam Nothing relevant, but it's still a pretty good movie.I expected it to be like Fast and Furious, but that's not exactly that.It's not about winning a race or being the fastest.It's about catching road criminals and mastering a special driving technique.About a car each minute gets blasted and 1000 liters of gasoline are burnt...They sure did not have ecology in mind.But anyway, if you like police stories, Hong Kong and fast cars...You will enjoy it.
inc-10 Watching this, I didn't know what to expect. We have a rookie hothead cop who seems to be still reading "being a traffic cop for dummies" at work and transforms into generic main character from "The Fast and the Furious" on off-hours. Then we have old cop who's torn between nearby retirement and need for his high skills from "old times". This causes some drama, and I'm unsure if it enriched or ruined the experience.Generally, it's pretty much like similar Hollywood movies (like one I mentioned above), but very, very dark. It reminds me "Crash" quite a lot. Slow music, dark city in neon lights, and despite quick cuts of insane horsepower - packed into plastic and chromed steel, under overpriced car hood, there's no hip-hop anthems playing or tanned girls anywhere to be seen. Neither is any dumb one- liners.I liked that movie and yet hated it. I think it showed how weak Fast and Furious really would be as a movie if you removed MTV-styled clips and flashy people. As a cop drama it probably failed, because I really didn't believe that cops work like in this movie, leaving wounded behind, not reporting in, failing to catch a cop killer in week and never bringing out big guns, but send a rookie after notorious criminal instead.Still, it was entertaining, and good break from formulaic stew that Hollywood constantly feeds us. Want to see something different, see this.
