running out of ideas for action movies

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2000)

When was the last time you saw a good action movie and came back thrilled? The movie was hyped and director john woo had an obsession with slow motion which kept coming every now and then for no reason. It was like there was nothing else in the script so might as well drag it. This movie had almost all the ingredients but was still bad. makes me wonder why? lack of good plot, and cliched statements and actions. Except for a few stunts here and there it was a total farce. The fact that hollywood is running out of ideas for plots and script for good action movies is also evident from the bond movies which try and use the bond image to draw crowd and make money rather than using the movie itself.
