GOOD ACTION FLICK

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2001)

After a few disappointing films (Blackjack, Broken Arrow, and Hard Target) John Woo has finally warmed up to a spectacular film, on par with the likes of the brilliant Hard Boiled and excellent The Killer.
The story may be a little over the top with an FBI agent swapping faces with a seemingly dead terrorist to find a location of a bomb, but the action comes in bucketloads and it's not a case of quality over quantity as John Woo uses his excellent directorial skills to make one of the best action movies ever.
