"John Woo"

After witnessing the marvels of Face/Off, M:I-2 and The Killer, I'm in need of some more John Woo action-fests.

Recommendations please (John Woo films only, obviously).

Oh, and what's that Hard Boiled thing like?

Ta.

:(

I think The Rock was better then Face Off, but only just.

Face of had some good moments in it and John and Nick (I know them all so we are on a first name basis) had a great time with their parts, so to speak.

But The Rock was just nifty.

But he's a completely different kind of director compared to Cameron and Tarantino, they tend to lean more to the Thriller/Action edge of filmaking while Woo is action all the way.

And Face/Off is a good film, but nothing xcompared to his earlier work. Hard Boiled is my fav, the final climatic shootout in the hospital is excellent in it's full, adrenalin fueled unrealistic quality.

yeah.

Not. Better. Than. Face/Off. :D

The Rock was true class.

Sean and Nick worked well together.

not bad, but featuring some classic cheese moments

Cameron does indeed rule, but I do like a little of the Woo.
