getting closer to Woo...

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2000)

I watched Mission Impossible 2 only because it is a John Woo film. I am a big fan of Woo but not of any of his movies here in the US. I have been waiting with anticipation for him to make the movies the calibur of The Killer, Hard Boiled, A Better Tomorrow 1 and 2 and A Bullet in the Head (anyone who hasnt seen these films and calls themselves an action fan needs to wake-up...they get NO BETTER!!!). I have to say Woo is one step closer to regaining his form. MI:2 is his best film here in the state as of yet, and although it is not wall to wall action, the ending is as exciting as an American movie can get. To see 2 guys on the beach kung-fu fighting with there guns blazeing, well thats just not typical Hollywood action fluff. Get rid of the love romance story line and we've got a near 4 star film. Chow-Yung Fat call Woo now please!! The US needs you guys together BADLY!!!
