On the Wrong Track Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Leofwine_draca ON THE WRONG TRACK is one of the juvenile delinquency films that were all the rage in the early 1980s, and perhaps a response to Tsui Hark's shocking DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIRST KIND. It was shot by Shaw and is notable for featuring a youthful Andy Lau in his first lead role in a movie. Lau plays one of two brothers who get involved in gang conflict and violence, ending up in a downward spiral that can only lead to one thing.This story has the usual exemplary Shaw Brothers production values and a handful of slow motion car crash stunts that action lovers will enjoy. Otherwise, it's an intense character drama with lots of melodramatic scenes as Lau ends up alienating his friends, family, and love interests. Martial arts veteran Yueh Hua plays Lau's cop dad who isn't too impressed with his son's lifestyle choices.
