ShangLuda
Admirable film.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This show is an interesting idea, we were really excited to see it and the first episode was interesting. Unfortunately the premise of the show cannot cover the nonsense that ensues. This is not portrayal of reality. The players are set up to fail. The rules place on them would make it easy for even a novice investigator to find them. It seem to be a forum for stroking the egos of the investigators on the show. Their time consists mostly of sitting in a room making arrogant comments about how great they are. They have seem to have every device that is needed ready to go at a moments notice. People in the forest, cool an ex machina drone and its pilot suddenly appear! Just like real life. Their interview techniques are rudimentary at best. They conduct interviews of the fugitives children? What planet are they on? Force their way into peoples houses without permission? Toss a guys house including the attic looking for the fugitives? To use a video game analogy. The fugitives are nerfed with stupid unrealistic rules, while the investigators are buffed with super powers and resources that seem unlimited and a scope of power that is unrestricted. It would not bother me so much if the investigators were not so arrogant about their own abilities, when all they are doing is using systems already set up to track the people they are after. Oh and then at the end after all the running and hiding and evasion we find out it's really for nothing because the investigators get their final cheat by knowing exactly where the fugitives are going to be when they make their final escape.This show insults the intelligence of real life investigators and law enforcement because it makes the job look way too easy. It insults real fugitives because it makes it look like they are all stupid. It insults our intelligence by selling it as reality, when in truth its a crappy game show with stupid rules that seem made up on the fly.

Here are the rules:They have a 30 minute head start. They can take whatever they can carry including a tent etc. They have 28 days to get to the designated end location. They must not break the law. During active hours of hunting they must keep on the move and change location regularly – no hiding in the sewer for the entire time. They must attempt to throw the hunters off their scent – and do their best to decoy them. They need to make use of a support network and they must make contact with family and friends. They have £250 in a bank account, only accessible in small amounts via an ATM. I believe they must get the money out regardless of whether its needed as a rule. They must take with them a cameraman.We are never told the rules on the show (only on the website). This means the players are made to look stupid when choosing not to hide in an abandoned house for the duration, as that would be trespassing. They are required to call home which gives away their location, but it is edited to look as though they are being stupid and doing it out of impulse. Also, the law rule is ignored as hitchhiking is illegal in this country but they happily ignore that. Its an interesting show, but the rules need better clarification and explaining to the viewers so we understand the game more, if we are truly to do as they request and ask ourselves what would you do?
