John Woo sucks.

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2000)

This movie was a great action film, but anybody can do that. When I go out to the theater to see a hyped movie starring Tom Cruise, I expect something more. The fighting and the explosions and the killing were great, but let's remember who made the film: John Woo (Broken Arrow, ew). Never before had I heard Tom Cruise yell "Hiyahhh!" when he kicked somebody's ass. Some very unbelievable moments dampened this movie. I've never felt more patronized and belittled while watching a movie as I was during the "left inner pocket" sequence. You'll know what I mean if you've seen the movie. Not to mention that our hero falls in love with our heroine after one night of raunchy sex (oh please). John Woo is a great stunt coordinator/choreographer, but a crappy film maker. Poor directing ruined this otherwise exciting film.
