Movie Review by B Movie Ben
May 1st, 2007

Happy Birthday John Woo

Writer/director Quentin Tarantino refers to John Woo as "the most exciting director to emerge in action cinema since Sergio Leone." And VARIETY calls the Hong Kong director "the Mozart of Mayhem." Action and Mayhem are what you will find in this film with John Travolta and Nicolas cage. They play in perfect tandem and one could not imagine anyone else in the roles.

Woo's direction is flawless and you can see his earlier works reborn - the emotion of The Killer and the action of Hard Boiled - in this film.

An interesting supporting cast includes Margaret Cho, CCH Pounder and Gina Gershon.

I actually thought Travolta was better then cage in this one, he plays a great bad guy.
