Title: Disappointed
Product review: Just as w/ Hong Kong Face-Off (also by John Woo), I found Heroes Shed No Tears to be one of John Woo's weaker movies. The melodrama was tacky, the characters weakly developed, and the storyline lacking any logical sequence. Missing is that smashing cinematography that we see in later films like Face-Off or Hard Boiled, or the strong character development seen in Face-Off, Hard Boiled or The Killer. If you're merely browsing for a good HongKong action flick, skip this baby. If you're interested in seeing how John Woo's cinematographic genius developed and how he came to be where he is today, go to your local Asian video store and rent this movie. If you're die hard John Woo and wanna just buy anything by him, beware...this film isn't what you'd expect it to be.
