Saw XXX on Tuesday - what a load of PAP. I understand about popcorn action being rewatchable, but this was just boring. When I watch something like Face Off, The Rock, and most of all the classic popcorn like Die Hard etc I remember enjoying the action sequences. During most of XXXs action sequences I remember just being bored.
A while ago I watched John Woos "Hard Boiled" on an old recording from Sky - poor quality vhs with dubbing (i'm a sub person). I wasn't expecting much. It was over the top violent action, a bit wacky in a way, but great fun to watch and despite the lower budget I think it puts most modern holywood action films to shame. I would love a company like Hong Kong Legends to get hold of it, but what I hear is that the available versions on DVD are not that good from different company.
