Running Turtle (South Korea, 2009)

Jo Pil-seong, a rural detective, is an unhappy husband, often blamed by his wife for gambling. Despite her being hard on him, he steals money from her to bet on bull butting. Fortunately, he chalks up an unexpected win, but his luck, by no means, lasts long because his money gets snatched by an escaped prisoner.

Running Turtle is a highly entertaining thriller with some comic relief thrown in for good measure. The well-directed fight scenes and likable cast makes this another solid chase-film from South Korea. Recommended for viewers who like the 'cat and mouse'-style in thrillers.

Genre: Comedy/Crime/Drama
