G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle A movie that has all the best elements of a great Hong Kong action film: It's over the top and ingeniously plotted (even if that plot strains credibility) and never stops moving. Rated: 4/4 May 15, 2009 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Beast Stalker is an actioner that gets lost in its own visual flourishes when had it concentrated on the acting and the storyline could have been a much more engrossing film. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 11, 2020 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Dante Lam directs an agonizing action thriller, the draws as much as possible from his two main characters Nov 30, 2019 Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls A must-see for its brilliant performances and breath-taking camera work. Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks Beast Stalker isn't interested in traditional narrative logic, indulging in the extreme emotional pathos of its far-fetched scenario and the occasional glimpses of humanity that can shine through in even the worst circumstances.

edward r The picture quality was terrible and so were the sub titles. I don't know if it's a Chinese thing but shouting seems to be the thing, painful. The child stole the show as there didn't seem to be much competition. The actual plot was a total fantasy. Still it was moderately entertaining, some good bits to be fair. Overall a major disappointment. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review jack h Dumbest movie ever. No plot, nothing makes sense...

I loved the seemingly independent stories, and how they came together. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A solid thriller. Nick's performance was outstanding as the antagonist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member "Beast Stalker" for the most part is a stock standard action thriller out of Hong Kong, but the premise adds some key stakes to the story that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the cliches. When a cop falls onto dark times after accidentally shooting a young girl in a high speed pursuit, he tries to make it up by rescuing the girl's sister, who falls victim to a kidnapping. With the film-makers proving very early on that they aren't afraid to kill child characters in this action flick, the sense of danger is ever present. And the story ties a bunch of storylines around one event, which I won't spoil here, but actually adds a lot of depth to this film. A very fine actioner.
