JC gets a cool makeover and it works a treat thanks to his superb, self-deprecating performance. I wonder what his fans think about this? John Woo and Steve Seagal's ponytail take a few hits when the movie buff talk interrupts the tension and the surprisingly convincing pathos.
One of the film's strengths is the way it is able to juggle the moods shiftswithout any sense of jarring. In one scene you feel like getting up and cheering when JC reverts to type, but then his final speech leaves you wondering which way is up - just one of the many twists in this strange, but utterly compelling film. Well done, JC.
