Manhunt

If you are watching it for good story and acting, you will be disappointed. But the action scenes are good and keep you entertained. Also, the movie was shoot in Japan and it looked beautiful. Decent movie and watchable. 6 stars from me.

I don't know why they decided having people who are obviously not English speakers speaking English. Also the movie is set in Japan with Chinese characters there was no need for anyone to speak English. They should have been speaking Japanese or Mandarin.

I'm not a 100% sure John Woo fully directed this mess. Everyone was hoping for a return of the action master, instead we get a slow, boring and ridiculous movie that is all over the place. It takes plots lines from The Fugitive, Hard Target, and Max Payne! He'd been planing a wave runner chase since Hard Target, we finally get it, and it's a dud. Looks like a movie that was filmed for the Hallmark channel.

5/10 You probably know Director John Woo from the Cage/Travolta crazy classic Face/Off.

But I know him from his trilogy of awesome Hong Kong movies The Killer, Hardboiled and Bullet To The Head.

I was hoping that this was a return to form. Sadly it's not. Weak action, bizarre story all over the place and dreadful editing.

This Japanese and Chinese collaboration of a John Woo directed movie turned out to be one of the least interesting of John Woo's career. And here I am only thinking about his work in Asian cinema.

The story portrayed in this movie was straightforward, but it was so straightforward that it offered no surprises, no twists, no nothing. So you just basically sit back in the seat and strap yourself in for the ride. Except you need not worry about the straps, because the ride here was plain and downright boring.

The action sequences were adequate, although hardly outstanding in comparison to many other Asian movies.

It was gutwretching to listen to the dialogue performed in English, because it was abysmally poorly delivered.

This movie came and went without leaving any lasting impression. Heck, it hardly even left a dent.

I love Asian movies, but this movie is not one that I ever plan to return to watch a second time.
