There are enough glimpses of the old master peeking through that it's hard not to have a bit of a good time. Go to Full Review

It's hard not to smile when John Woo is having this much fun, or to care about the future when the old-fashioned has this much style. Go to Full Review

Manhunt generally holds together rather well and is bound to keep Woo's most faithful fans happy. Go to Full Review

2/4
One of the central pleasures of genre cinema is running your fingers along well-worn grooves, but while Man Hunt trots out a lot of chestnuts, it's the film's tendency to burn through them with bemusing haste. Go to Full Review

John Woo's throwback to the 80s, complete with camp dialogue and saxophone driven soundtrack... Go to Full Review

3.5/5
We will never see the dry and devastating Woo of 'A bullet in the head' again, but this one, pyrotechnic and self-conscious, is equally valuable. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Finn S Apr 2, 2019 One of my inspiring director, there is no comparison to any other director in the movie industry when it comes to style in filmmaking what John Woo does, no other director can do. I was wondering about the character Dawn, and why she was given one of the lead as contract killer, It was like, she has been put by force or she is pushing her limits to do the role. That Mr. Woo's daughter. When you are being very honest with your work, you can not compromise with the quality, i was having doubt about her ability when on the first few seconds i saw her. but overall, only being charming and beautiful is not enough for an Action lead. So with $30M budget it did $18M WorldWide. As for the cast, they were all good, funny at English accent when they use to switch from Japanese to English and then Chinese, or i guess it is most definitely is way more challenging when you assemble Multi National Cast and bring few cultures together on a set. There could be several reasons why the Movie did not do well WorlWide but one thing is for sure, when you watch Mr. Woo's work, as i said, you stick with the screen, and its like hypnotizing his fans and audience do not get bored. The Killer became a Bench Mark for Mr. Woo and Internationally many directors tried to copy his style, if you look at Mi2, with $125M it did over $546M WorlWide. Similarly, FaceOff with $80M budget it did $246M WorldWide. Broken Arrow from $50M budget it did $150M WorldWide. Long story short, if Manhunt was not successful like other but he maintained his Bench Mark in style which can not be Ignore and if you watched in the Theater, it definitely worth watching because there is no other can produce better Cinema frames and style than Mr. John Woo. As a filmmaker, his movies work as a film school for me. See more
Ron G Feb 9, 2019 This film is awesome and contains action that a blockbuster would have. Besides it's directed by John Woo so it's awesome.
Kylo W Dec 1, 2018 It's so bad that I created an account to rate and stop people from watching this movie. Don't watch. I thought John Woo can do better. I was excited when I saw John Woo's name in the opening. See more
Anakin R Nov 23, 2018 Woo recycles a storyline too old to revive with his style, also aged in the meantime. Insufficient, although some moments are salvable and enjoyable. (Mauro Lanari) See more
Aug 27, 2018 Holy crap, how the mghty have fallen. The plot has lost the plot, the acting is sub par, the dialogue cheesy. I don't expect Strasbourg trained thespians in an action flick, but this movie so fails to hit any marks that it's reaching for. TBH, even the bullet ballet Woo is famous for seems phones in.

Anakin M May 26, 2018 Absolute waste of time. John Woo is the Hong Kong version of big budget Hollywood trash for the asian masses. If you like hyperpalatable food then this will "taste" good; non stop chase scenes, guns, knives, swords, hand to hand, and murder. See more
