Added the second trailer for “Cold War”
“Dangerous Pursuit” with Takakura is a very strong film. And the fact that it is Wu who is doing the remake influences positive expectations. The cast is good, the director is good, the material is good, the budget is there... “Pursuit” is a potential hit. We are waiting.
I watched the Japanese “Dangerous Pursuit” as a child. An unforgettable film).
The main roles are played by strong actors. Perhaps Wu will finally film something close to his “bullet ballets” of the 80s and 90s))). Although the original is, first and foremost, a thriller, of course. Bringing an excellent Korean actor into the film is a special thank you))).
