Title: .
Review: Truly the epitome of gunfight-oriented action films, the stuntwork and choreography of this film are visually stunning. However, on the whole, this is not nearly as inspired and nuanced as Woo's best film, The Killer, and Chow-Yun Fat's character seems underdeveloped and watered down here. Given that Woo's only real strengths are his action sequences anyway, this film is plenty acceptible, in an incredibly over-the-top way, but I prefered the cheesy pulp melodrama and clever situations that made the Killer a silly but balanced and engaging work of art.
