John Woo must think we're stupid

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2000)

I haven't seen all of John Woo's movies, but I've seen enough (Hard Boiled, FaceOff, Broken Arrow, MI2). In all his movies, there seems to be the same old stuff: good guy vs bad guy, guns, explosions, stunts...). All that is nice, but we've seen it all before. Enter Mission: Impossible 2. I was hoping for something new from John Woo, boy was I wrong. Same old stuff: heavy on action, weak on plot, characters. If this is the best John Woo can come up with, tell him not to waste our time or money again. We've seen this all before, lets see something with some heart, instead of the same old thing. A good action movie must have more besides just action.
