John Woo is one of a kind. The king of Hong Kong action cinema. From his films A Better Tommorow I and II, Hard Boiled, and The Killer, to his American films Hard Target, Broken Arrow, and his newest FaceOff, John Woo has redefined the way people look at gunbattles. Featuring two fisted gun blazing action, there is no other filmmaker who uses such a wide combination of zooms, pans, slow motion, and fast cuts to such a tremendous film.The best thing about John Woo is that his films have plots and points, something that most Hollywood films have forgotten. Woo cares about the plot and it shows in the tremendous characterization and development given to his characters. Working with some of the finest actors in the world, including the stunning Chow YunFat, John Travolta, and Nicolas Cage, among others. Van Damme is not in that bunch... Woo has directed over 30 films, including comedy, drama, and action, as well as an American TV pilot version of one of his own films. This site tries to disregard anything hes made since coming to America. Well, except FaceOff and the uncut version of Hard Target. Except for the dancing Wilfred Brimley. shudder.
