Run 2 U

Don't expect to find anything fresh and exciting. Does the notion of 2 young men escaping from gang they betrayed seem fresh to you? How about the fact that one is attracted to the other? While the straight one seems unaware of that since he is drawn to a pretty girl?

About the only new touches for most American viewers would be the ethnicity: the two young men are Japanese and the girl in between is Korean. And the movie dialog is a mix of the two languages (not that most Americans could tell... or care).

The action is pretty clunky since the actors aren't particularly athletic. And that describes the script pretty well, too.

At least, it's an opportunity to see pretty Chae Joeng Ahn as the young woman -- but the blonde dye-job diminishes her looks. (Check her out in the Korean TV comedy/drama COFFEE PRINCE to see her at her most beautiful.)

This movie " Run2U " is different from other Korea/Japan co-productions in one aspect,that involves Japanese worst gan members Yakuza. It is really a love triangle story involves two young Japanese best friends,rather cutie looking young Japanese actors + oddly enough pretty average looking Korea gal who played hostess,I believe whoever producer might be could of done better job of selecting Korean actress,nevertheless reasonably well made movie. The actors play out their roles pretty well in this movie. Only thing I really did regret about this movie is,it does not contain enough action fighting scenes. Overall it was well made movie,and do recommended to anyone,particularly to those fans of Japan/Korean co-production movies like me. Enjoy! I know I did!!
