Korea
Slick but uninvolving re-make of the John Woo actioner from the 80's. The stiffness and overacting of the players never let me forget that I was watching actors performing...
The shooting scenes were nicely cut and helped hide the fact that they were preposterous but if you don't care about the fate of the characters this becomes a technical exercise...which isn't good enough.
When Woo's films first appeared here in the West they were startling in their originality. Soon however they were widely copied and became just another cliche. Too bad but so it goes...
