Escort is a 2001 Chinese black comedy film directed by Qi Xing, starring Ge Zhijun and Li Zhanhe as two plainclothes police officers trying to escort an especially obedient criminal ( Fu Biao) out of an impoverished and desolate area in Shaanxi. The film marks Qi's directorial debut.
- Fu Biao as Yu Tai, a swindler who hasn't been home for many years. Too homesick and too poor to leave the area by himself, he happily follows the 2 police officers so that they can take him home.
- Ge Zhijun as Old Li, an old officer about to retire. A widower, he worries about his future and his daughter's future.
- Li Zhanhe as Zhang Lei, a young officer. He is a little frustrated with the trip as he really misses his wife.
- Li Yunjuan as a hard-working, kind and pleasant landlady. Widowed, she has a teenage son named Ningning (Xu Yang).
Internationally, the film was shown at the 2006 Thessaloniki International Film Festival after Fu Biao's death. [2] It was also screened at the 2002 Far East Film Festival in Italy. [3]
Shelly Kraicer characterizes the film as having "rough and ready shooting style", "solid scripting and unhurried pace", as well as "superb comic performances". [3]
