Forget the endless parade of John Wick imitators; John Woo’s directorial genius delivers a criminally underrated action thriller, now available for free on YouTube, that eclipses them all. While recent years have seen a surge of bald antiheroes embarking on kill-crazy vendettas, from the darkly humorous Nobody films to the slick but derivative Atomic Blonde, The Beekeeper, and Polar, this film stands apart. Woo’s signature blend of balletic violence and explosive spectacle elevates the genre, offering a visceral, exhilarating experience that reminds audiences what true action filmmaking looks like, proving that sometimes, the best revenge is a masterpiece you can watch for free.
