Movie Reviews

Early but good Film by Master John Woo

McHomer@gmx.net | Haan, Germany | 01/22/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"When I first saw this film it was only because one of my fav. directors, John Y. Woo made it. But it is surprisingly good for an old lo-budget HongKong movie. The direction is all right and when the action turns on, you can see the master's handwriting. This film is gross but entertaining and it's worth a rental. Avoid the dubbed Version!"

It's just as good as Woo's films, better than most of them

"Unbelievable! This film was real nice. I got it just cuz it looked entertaining, maybe it would make me laugh. It did more than that. the acting is superb and unbelievably powerful at times. I love this movie and will probably watch it several times a year for many years to come. Rent it if you can find it, but it's definitely worth buying if you can't"
