I haven't seen that many of Mr. Woo's movies, but I've heard enough to know that this movie is a new low for him.
The fact that this is a TV movie already hints at the disappointment to come, and the 90-minute ride can be easily split into three pieces: 33% of the movie is bad acting, mediocre dialog telling a barely mediocre story, 33% of the movie is mediocre shooting scenes which lack John Woo's trademark bravado, panache and any spirit at all, 33% of the movie is slow-motion shots from several angles of the action scenes
So basically, with this movie you'll watch all the battles twice and follow a barely mediocre story with bad actors. What was Mr. Woo thinking?
