Review of Hard Target (1993) by Sean P — 28 Jan 2008
John Woo moved to USA after he had shot HARD BOILED(10/10) in HONG-KONG. The movie he was set to direct was HARD TARGET involving Jean-Claude Van Damme. This is a movie that you must see the uncut version of, because the normal American version is 3 minutes shorter than the full version.
Van Damme plays Chance Boudreux, and he must earn $217 so he can catch his ship. The movie closes with a gigantic shoot-out in similar Woo-style, which is a rather good thing. We get pretty much of the no-reloads-60-bullets-per-baddie style that is already seen in HARD BOILED and THE KILLER.
HARD TARGET is a must if you are a Woo-fan, an action-fan or a Van Damme-fan. Go on, give it a try! I give it.
