Title: woo - the master of sedation
Product review: Those who have seen this film know the gargantuan task Woo presents the viewer - staying awake. Nevertheless, you really have to hand it to Woo. He somehow manages to avoid delivering on the fundamental promise of the "action" genre - excitement and thrills - while simultaneously maintaining legions of adoring fans. The objective viewer, of course, calls it like it is - trash. And here's the capper - the DVD promises 45 extra minutes of Woo. I would have thought the marketing folks would want to keep quiet about this little tidbit.For those of you who do like Woo, here's a Woo-it-yourself tip: take any actual action movie, and right at the critical moments of excitement, just when you start to get that edge-of-your-seat feeling, play it in super-slo-mo. When you feel all that exhiliration drain away, you'll know you've done it right.
