Another Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (13 August 2002)

Having been disappointed by MI2, I hoped that John Woo (who has always been one of my favorite directors) will do better this time. But unfortunately, Windtalkers is not as good as I expected, and is on the same low level as Mi2. Visually, the movie is inferior than all other Woo movies. The fighting sequences are only standard, nothing that thrills you. The story is full of cliches and even Nicolas Cage is not convincing in his role. Well, I could enumerate many other things, but I think every fan of Hard Boiled, A Better Tomorrow and Face Off feels the same. Mr. Woo, try again.
