John Woo's return to urban action is not a good one. Joining the pantheon inhabited by Terence Malick, Woo has officially devolved into parody. Two fisted gunfights, check, pigeons flying around in slo-mo for no reason, check & extreme emotions bordering on Kabuki masks, check again. There were at least 5 different story lines going on & the shame of it is Woo would never make something so bad in his heyday. I wouldn't count him out but a restructuring may be in order.
