Frenkie Nov 5 There's something truly captivating about this film, both philosophically and atmospherically, and with a distinct Hong Kong flair to spare. But I don't share the admiration. It's an acquired taste. It's not a masterpiece, and the comparison to Twin Peaks is a bit excessive. See more 08/09/2014 Totally bat shit crazy stuff going on here and I loved it! Then the film pulled the rug out from under me and decided to go full bore spiritual on me! Bummer! See more 07/10/2013 A fair romantic-comedy with a mind-bending ending. See more 02/02/2013 A strange multi-genre blending film with a very interesting message (considering the amount of action violence in the film) about karma and not extending the cycle of vengeance. Won plenty of awards in Hongkong and Asia. Andy and Cecilia put in a good effort and To's direction is fluidly effortless as usual.

It has a strong Buddhist message involved in the film (Karma may determine our future but we can still change it if we try) and a tragic ending. Despite the little flaws in some of the sub story lines and ridiculous actions, it provided something that not only entertains, but also educational.

The basic story of Running on Karma was so implausible, we sat down with popcorn and glee preparing to demolish it. What happened then was the best lesson on the ideology of karma that I have even seen. The twisted plot, always pretty entertaining, demonstrated the concept of why the innocent may have to suffer. We started by laughing at the movie, and ended up enthralled by it. See more Read all reviews
