Reviews for Hard Target
It's a nice change of pace to see a strong, competent woman in a John Woo film. If you've never heard of the man, this is your chance to see what all the buzz is about.

One of my greatest guilty pleasures.

The result is without question the best film Van Damme has ever made. But it's also quite possibly the weakest in Woo's filmography.

A combo of American Honk Kong actioners that fails to show John Woo's distinctive talent

Presenting Mr. Van Damme as reverentially as Sergio Leone did the young Clint Eastwood, Mr. Woo displays a real aptitude for malignant mischief, which is this story's stock in trade.

Its characters are poorly-developed, the plot is the pinnacle of absurdity, and the acting, at best, is well over-the-top. Nevertheless, on the most basic, visceral level, the film succeeds.

Top CriticEven when the acting is hammy, notably Wilford Brimley's turn as Chance's Cajun uncle, Woo stages every fight with hypnotic grace.
05/12/01
Top CriticIt may once have been a second-rate "B" picture, but John Woo turns it into something better.
