Movies directed by John Woo

Hard Target (1993)

97 mins     Action , Thriller      

There is but one word which describes John Woo's "Hard Target" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and that is gratuitous. Now you may think I am on about it being full of gratuitous violence when in truth I don't think "Hard Targ...

Broken Arrow (1996)

108 mins     Action , Adventure , Crime, Thriller      

The best way for me to describe "Broken Arrow" is to use the title of another, more superior movie that of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" because it contains elements of each. In fact you could say it is entertaining, stupi...

Paycheck (2003)

119 mins     Action , Sci-Fi, Thriller      

When "Paycheck" starts it made me think of Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" but merged with a computer game where are protagonist finds himself with no memory of the past 3 years, an envelope of strange items which will be cr...
