John Woo's Best US Movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2003)

This movie is vintage Woo. From Tom Cruise welding two guns, to the motorcycle chase, to the man to man fight on the beach. This is the best movie John Woo has made in America. Face/Off is at a close second. What sets this movie apart is the way John Woo makes Tom Cruise look like the hero of heros. John Woo has Tom jumping, rolling, sliding, shooting, kicking and punching, in this MUST SEE for any action fan. All of Woo's movies has proved that no one does action like the master of action. Woo's influence is seen everywhere from James Cameron to Michael Bay. There is no doubt that John Woo is here to stay.
