My Top Twenty-Five Action Movies (25 movies items)

"This is like watching Swan Lake. But better. But more manly. And with guns and blood spewing out all over the place. Woo is probably the greatest action director of all time, and in this he really showcases his skills. He creates an action ballet like no other, from a cop sliding down stairs killing a couple guys without missing to the same cop killing about fifty guys in a garage single-handedly with an eight (or so) round shotgun. Many people call this film "dumb", but I say "brilliant". "

"02/03/2013 Muistutus taas siitä, kuinka vähän honkkareita olenkaan katsonut. Ja tämä on siis aivan uskomaton sääli, sillä ne muutamat mitä olen nähnyt, olen melkolailla rakastanutkin. Taistelukoreografiat ja kamera-ajot häikäisevät, eepinen loppu ja mooraliton silmitön räiskintä kaikki kaikessa hurmaa aivan täysillä."

" Chinese. Directed by John Woo. The most amazing gun fights I've ever seen. And yeah, the poster isn't lying to you. There's a gunfight where the hero hold a baby while shooting."

Larri's picks: My Top40 of All-time (40 movies items)

"Lat sau san taam a/k/a Hard Boiled directed by John Woo Perhaps I'm the only one calling Hard Boiled a style-over-substance film but, frankly put, I think Hard Boiled could've delved much deeper into that whole undercover stuff and explored a little bit. Or maybe I just don't understand film language. I wouldn't be surprised by that either. Anyway, style-over-substance is a hard thing to pull off because if you don't like the director's stylistic choices then what is there to back the movie"

"Arguably one of the best action films ever made. John Woo's beautifully planned choreography on the action sequences is just gorgeous to watch, latter half of the film being an almost endless gunfight with some crazy baby humor included. Woo's legendary, almost three minutes long take with single handheld camera is also something to mention of and one of the highest bodycounts in movie history cannot be bad thing either. Woo's other masterpiece The Killer comes close but personally I still think"
