Title: Woo drops the ball
Product review: Am I the only one who thinks that John Woo is overrated? I have enjoyed many of his films, but he has become a parody of himself. In any given John Woo film, you are sure to see doves fluttering through the air, a stand-off between two protagonists simultaneously pointing guns at each other, a woman whose only real reason for being in the film is to form a triangle with said protagonists, far too much slow motion photography and a healthy dose of obvious religious imagery that has little, if anything, to do with the story. This time around, I just couldn't work up any interest in what I was seeing. It all felt so tired and old. And that motorcycle duel belongs on a short list of the most ludicrous action sequences I have ever seen. This film is only for those who believe that Woo can do no wrong.
