Featured review
What is it? 1997 again?
I had to stop after 50min where I couldn't take it anymore, I mean it might be for someone but not for me.
John Woo has a style and I respect that! However I'm not sure if I would still have stomach for that in 2024, nearly 30 years after Faceoff.
You might ask how about the story then? Enough to know that a Killer with misplaced conscious caused a lot of civilians to die to avoid one particular civilian to die because she was against killing civilians. I know it's stupid. But that's the main theme, at least up until I said enough is enough. The plot has so many wholes and it looks so fake that even popular faces couldn't save it for me.
Do not waste your precious life with this movie, Mr Woo, please grow up.
