What was this (Japanese, I think) film?

>From sometime between 1998 and maybe 2002.
Sort of similar to "Run Lola Run" in the sense of being almost one long
chase on foot, but with a male lead.
Or maybe the chase started with one person and then went off to
another, and another, and so on.
I think the title might have been one short word or two very short
words with a hyphen in between.
It played at the Beverly Center in L.A.
It's driving me crazy -- if you know, I'd be much obliged. -- Jordan
