Overall 9.0

Acting/Cast 8.5
Music 8.5
Rewatch Value 10.0
All KILLER with no filler

PROS:
+ Even the cheesy camera shots and music are tastefully and artistically executed
+ The cool, and stylish aesthetic is incredibly strong and almost self-aware
+ Each and every gunshot and explosion is incredibly satisfying and fascinating to witness due to the unrivaled film choreo/direction
+ There is a sense of tragic humor, irony, and justice present in the overall tone that few films have attempted
+ Purely awesome characters that are as memorable as they are cool

CONS:
- Lots and lots of violence and over-the-top scenarios will turn some away
- Many action moments aren't quite believable (this could also be a positive aspect)

I'm glad to say that I'm a big fan of John Woo's style!

This has many parts from Woo's other older films and executes an action drama that may be his strongest classic film.

9/10
