I won't spend my time dissing this film. Because I saw it on a list of significant films, I decided to order it. I knew quickly, it wasn't my kind of movie. It takes violence to the nth degree and is almost cartoonish in its efforts. Boy these guys can shoot. But this is a fan movie and I'm invading someone else's turf. If I watched the best of the "Fast and Furious" movies, I would find it ridiculous, but that doesn't mean they aren't well made and fulfill the wishes of their fan base. So once I put aside the fact that none of this could possibly happen, I sat back and watched. I can at least say that I have seen a John Woo film and have some understanding of his art and the Hong Kong school.
