I wouldn't say it is great. But definitely better than The Silent Night and Manhunt. But not as close as his 1989 masterpiece. Because it focuses on putting drama first and action later. And the drama has overshadowed the action, which is synonymous with John Woo. The second thing is that the characters have back stories, which dilute the killer and the cop relationship, which was the DNA of the first movie. Here, the cop and killer don't gel with each other, and I find the cop's side weaker to the killer. There are very few action set pieces that affect a lot. And why he is giving so many homages to his movies, I don't understand. In Manhunt also he did it. It is good to give them, but it lacks originality. We are used to his spectacles in action set pieces, but here it hurts. Nathalie Emmanuel is a saving grace. Omar Sy doesn't help as a cop.  I recommend it for the sake of John Woo only.

Nice VFX. Story, screenplay, characters not to be talk about. One time watch.

Everything from story, acting, vfx, action choreography, screenplay to deeper meaning of the plot is perfectly balanced. I read somewhere the directors wanted Jackie Chan to be the lead but instead of they chose Michelle Yeoh which was a wise decision. A brilliant film. Highly recommended.

Jet Li's canon is different from the likes of Jackie Chan & Sammo Hung. They never indulged in serious roles except one or two by Chan. But Jet Li was always serious since his 80's & 90's movies. See the Once Upon a Time in China series. There his martial arts prowess was beautifully used by Tsui Hark. His other outings were also very good to watch. In this, he ventured into a more dramatic role than a straightforward fighter. Director Ronny Yu has made great efforts to bring out the emotional torment of Huo Yuanjia in Jet Li. Jet Li gave his finest performance in my opinion, especially in the first act. Other than the dramatic story the fights are really up to the standards of Yuen Woo-ping. Watch if you are a martial arts movie fan.

A Michael Bay movie is an edge-of-the-seat riding experience and he delivered. Jake Gyllenhaal is best as usual. His casting made the movie work but it is Eiza González who steals the show. Watch it if you are a Bay fan.

An absolute blast of a movie. Watch for Hayley Atwell she is stunning. And for Tom Cruise no words can describe his dedication towards cinema and entertainment. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant. Typical Tarantino movie. Full of violence and clever writing.

It's OK movie. Ana de Armas is love.

I feel it is nowhere near the original Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs are scary beings so they should act like that. In the franchise they don't do that. Still, I liked it. A good finale to the franchise.

A non-stop action thriller. Very old fashioned. Reminiscence of 80's & 90's action thrillers. All actors are in good form. The show stealer is Chris Evans. His mustache, muscles and personality makes his character a lovable goon. As usual Ana de Armas is lovely and lethal as well. Russo bros should make this a franchise as Ryan's character is still alive. Love to watch his adventures. Recommended.
