<p>Director John Woo's career in America has seldom reached the heights of his career in Hong Kong. He found his greatest stateside success with <i>Mission: Impossible 2</i> (which contains a series of amazing set-piece action sequences), and some fans enjoyed his <i>Face/Off</i> (although it delved into operatic overstatement to the nth degree), but to date nothing has yet carried the punch of his best Hong Kong output, such as <i>The Killer</i> or <i>Hard-Boiled</i>.
