Hi octane actioner from the great John Woo.

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2020)

I had watched a good few of the John Woo classic Hong Kong thrillers before this had come out and I must say the translation from East to West, which is usually catastrophic, works almost to perfection here. The scenario is pretty much insane and completely unrealistic but in the context of the movie, it's just fine and hugely enjoyable. So much so, you hardly question any of of the ultra fantastic plot. The action is very exciting to say the least and Nicholas Cage, I doubt will ever act or be in a better picture. For me an all time genre classic and very much of its day.
