John Woo what did you do?

Rating: 6/10 (12 June 2000)

As a great fan of John Woo movies I was disappointed with his latest American film. The action was great, but what was the go with every action sequence having 80% of it in slow-mo? Secondly the love story thing has been done before and was too much a part of this weakly written story. This movie had less than quarter of the suspense of the first. One more thing to add, I feel Im speaking for all Australian's when I say that the Aussie actor (helicopter pilot) was too say the least, appalling, why do the American viewers have to see an Aussie with the worst Aussie accent we over here have ever heard? And the other accents were shocking, what were they supposed to be?
Anyway, if they are going to make another some time they should really look back at the first one and think why that one was so much better than this second attempt.
