Man on the Run

... is to make them interesting.

Unfortunately this one fails. It is a complete flop.

It is made even worse by the awful drowning soundtrack.

People won't care about this movie and in that way it mirrors how people don't care about what happened.

The story could have been told in 15-30 mins.

Here we just get endless padding of mournful soundtrack and people making comments which don't add to the story.

I'd suggest you just use Google to get a summary of events and save yourself the time to watch it. Certainly.don't extend the financial losses by spending money on a ticket.

The long list of people who chose not to participate - did so wisely.

Love the narrative and how it ties back to how this affects the everyday lay people from hawkers to illiterate rural Malaysians. The 1MDB fiasco seemed hidden behind clouds of financial jargons and conspiracy when the news first broke but the documentary did an amazing job explaining how this came to be and why nobody knew all the details behind it. Perfect for people who have no extensive knowledge about business/finance workouts as this documentary breaks difficult concepts and illustrated them into very digestible pieces. Highly recommended for all Malaysians to build understanding of this turbulent times.

This shows a really high profile scam which went unseen with a lot of big figures spanning across countries and industries. The movie is informative but is not in best form of entertainment or even a good documentary. Could be taken better for cinematic effects or experience but would recommend everyone to watch the movie for sake of learning about one of the biggest scandals in recent times. When the key politicians and big name firms get inloved, everything from investigations to serving justice could be a challenge but requires the justice to renew the faith in the democratic systems. Watch for information.

Man on the Run: Great documentary about the IMDB scandal. Corruption at the highest levels across the globe. The film tells the tale of the ongoing 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal and the involvement of former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak and the fugitive businessman, Jho Low in a scandal that shook Malaysia. Razak was sentenced to 12 years in prison, $681 million was resting in his account. He likely got away with murder though, an official from the Attorney General's office was found dead in an oil barrel. The official had signed a warrant for the arrest of Razak while he was still in power. Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton, The Fugees, Kim Kardashian, Goldman Sachs et al were also involved in this affair. The conman Jho Low is still on the run. Enormously entertaining. Directed, written and executive produced by Cassius Michael Kim. On Netflix. 8/10.

Man On The Run uses celebrities as the hook to get you to watch this expose on a name you would never recognize otherwise. It's common knowledge that celebs get paid for appearances so big deal. They don't know where every dollar comes from people they are acquainted with for gosh sake. As far as the man "on the run" part of the story and the fraud he committed - it's a web of corruption and politics at the highest level but a rather boring story overall IMO. It actually put me to sleep 3 times and came back in the morning to finish it. Doesn't say much for such a short documentary or story. One thing I did learn from it though is who the man is that is on the run - will remember the name now Jho Low, which by the way sounds like a fake name anyway, If I hear it discussed in a social setting at least I will know who and what is being discussed, so I will give it that which is what my 3 stars are for.
