Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Blake Bergman – ★★★★☆
   “Run and Kill is a 1993 thriller directed by Billy Tang. A product of Hong Kong, the film falls within the notorious ‘Category III’ territory, known for showcasing notorious brutality. Run and Kill absolutely earns every bit of that acknowledgment as this film holds nothing back.”
2. Eric Rowe – ★★★★☆
   “An absolutely delirious conception propels Run and Kill, an unhinged nihilistic CATIII film full of tonal variations and abject barbarism that has got to be one of the most subversive family man stories ever committed to celluloid.”
3. Steven Millan – ★★★★☆
   “In the hands of director Billy Tang and scriptwriter Bryan Chang, Run and Kill is a thriller that contains as much gory violence as well as an extremely disturbing scene of the horrifying burning death of one of the main characters. A believably hard-hitting and nerve-shattering thriller.”
