Movies I've Seen-1993

I like this,but I felt it went a little too silly.Pt 2 was a perfect combination of horror and slapstick but a little too much slapstick in this for me.Bruce is awesome,as usual.

Solid if overlong adaptation of the John Grisham novel about a hotshot law student joining a shady,too good to be true law firm.The film has a strong cast,maybe a little too strong as a lot of them are wasted,like Gene Hackman who isn't given much to do.A few stand out like Gary Busey as a hyper private detective and oatmeal/diabetes spokesmen Wilford Brimley as a creepy villain.And you get to see Tom Cruise kick the living shit out of Brimley which is also good.

Chow Yun Fat stars as a tough cop who teams up with a hitman to stop an insane gangster who's a major arms dealer.There's probably less plot here than in The Killer,but it's enough to support the ultraviolent,absolutely kickass action sequences,with the final showdown taking place in a hospital.Chow Yun Fat is his usual charismatic,badass self and Tony Leung is also good as the hitman.This is John Woo's masterpiece,one the best action films ever made.It's a real shame how far Woo went downhill after coming to America.Shoot Em Up cribs heavily from this film,especially the hero carting a baby around while blowing guys away.A must see for anyone who call themselves an action fan.
