Chase in North America) is a 2017 British-Chinese action thriller film by director Charles Martin, with a cast that includes Orlando Bloom, Leo Wu, Simon Yam, Hannah Quinlivan and Lynn Hung.[1] The film was set for a 30 September 2017 release in China,[2] with later dates for other countries.[3]
Danny Stratton, a washed-up private security agent, is given the rare opportunity to escort a valuable Chinese antique out of Shanghai, but is ambushed en route. With the safety of the woman he loves in jeopardy, Danny has to work with his Security Management Action Recovery Team members to save her, as a dreadful conspiracy begins to unravel.
