The Trail

About This Movie

So, 'The Trail' is one of those intriguing gems from the early '90s. You’ve got this blend of action and comedy wrapped up in a crime narrative, which is always a fun mix. The pacing is a bit of a rollercoaster; it jumps between tense moments and light-hearted scenes, making the ride unpredictable. The characters, especially Officer Lei, have this camaraderie that feels genuine, even if the performances are a bit over-the-top at times. What really stands out is the setting—Mongolia and various locations in China provide a unique backdrop that you don’t often see in this genre. And there are some decent practical effects sprinkled throughout that keep it grounded, despite its more absurd moments.
