A rubber-burning car chase movie, Motorway stars Shawn Yue as Sean, a hotshot rookie cop. He’s a member of the Stealth Riders, a secret police unit in charge of hunting down illegal auto racers and fugitives on the run. After nabbing a legendary getaway driver—only to have him escape from prison—Sean enlists soon-to-retire veteran Lo (Anthony Wong) to teach him some new driving tricks. Given both the Best Picture and Best Director awards by the Hong Kong Film Critics Association, this thrilling cat-and-mouse caper from Soi Cheang (Accident) is at once a tribute to American car-chase movies of the 1970s and a throwback to the glory days of Hong Kong action flicks. As Christopher Huber raves in Cinema Scope, “Motorway is part of a nearly lost art: a world and its inhabitants expressed almost exclusively through action.” (Dir.: Soi Cheang, Hong Kong, 2012, 90 min., Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles)
