A Chinese acting star was kidnapped. He wasn't abducted because they liked him, but because they wanted some money. Furthermore, they don't treat him very kindly because of it, and Andy Lau's performance makes this film very believable, giving you exactly what you want in that regard. It's gritty, but it's not particularly stunning. ()
Just like Police Story 2013 directed by Ding, Saving Mr. Wu is a bloated would-be high-concept work and a futile wait for the promised sharp thriller. Hopelessly waving the camera obscures the fact that there actually isn’t any dynamism or tension, but rather only a formulaic bit of bullshit that serves for the melodramatic glorification of Chinese cops as superhuman crime fighters sacrificing themselves for the good of others.
