"Fight! Fight! Between the heavy and the light! The light don't win, we all jump in!" I'll never forget that chant. When I was young and whenever there was a height/weight disadvantage someone would begin chanting this. It was never really a serious threat, since the chant would make the bigger person almost always not try as hard, and usually making the fight into a tie. Why did I think of this? Because in this movie, you're rooting for the fat guy! Sure I've rooted for a fat guy before...maybe in a WWF or MMA match, but not in a flick I don't think. Upp, I did want Lardass in Stand By Me to get revenge. But in a violent, gritty, next-move-could-be-fatal type of way, never. Until now! Go Fatty!
Run and Kill starts off with a guy named "Fatty" accidentally putting a "hit" on his wife. His wife cheated on him, so he went to the club got really drunk and started slurring around the wrong people. Well, what follows is a some of the worst luck a guy can go through. Run and Kill started off well with good character development, but then strayed off a little bit during the middle when Fatty was getting into more heat. Which is weird, you'd think it'd get more interesting. Not really. More characters were introduced at a fast rate, including the villain of the movie, but it all felt kinda jumbled and rushed. Truthfully, one moment I was watching Fatty do something with the cops, then suddenly I was watching a warehouse scene where guys were shooting at each other. Im still a tad confused if it was either Cops vs. Bad Guys or two warring groups. Anyways, that doesn't matter. What matters is what went on during the final 20 minutes.
Run and Kill is another CATIII goodie from the director Billy Tang. Now seeing three of his movies, I can now easily pick his style from a group. That upward camera view close up on the bad guy. Nice stuff when looking for a menacing, insane look. The actors were all pretty good as well, especially Fatty and the Villain. Overall, Run and Kill was a pretty fun watch. It delivered the goods with acting, violence and camera work, but was kinda average with the story-telling. I enjoyed the story of revenge, the beginning and the end, but the middle not so much. Though I do recommend it to CATIII lovers out there.
