Woo-esque
The finnish entry in the Stay True to John Woo contest clicks on most cliches related to the director…
White dove: check.
Guns akimbo: check.
Insurmountable odds: check.
Slow-mo: check (but with clippy myspace video this may be unintentional).
Mexican standoff: check
And the game seems interesting as well. But the influx of shooting games may be its undoing this fall - competition is stiff from the likes of Halo3 and Bioshock. But for a spiritual sequel to Hard-Boiled, Woo’s last Hong Kong film thus far, there ought to be a cordite-drenched niche somewhere on the shelves.
