watched it again,never gets any better.

Just curious, what do you think makes the director and plot bad? Can you give specifics? I thought the chimera plot was pretty good, creating a virus to sell the cure. And Woo seems to handle action well. I've read people say there are a lot of plot holes but Woo also had to cut the film down from 3.5 hours to 2 hours Even so, I thought it made sense and was easy to follow. I know people complain about the motorcycle tires, but in the scope of the whole movie, that's certainly not a deal breaker. So what don't people like?

The "hot" chick is an Aborigine? And the movie is shot in Australia? AUSTRALIA?
WHO CARES ABOUT AUSTRALIA?!
Just wrong- so very wrong.
Never bought the romance. Short Aborigine chicks just don't do it for me. My problem, I guess.
The bad guy had a BAD Scottish accent and sounded more like Paul McCartney- Jesus, can't we get some REAL villains for a change?
Non-stop ridiculous car chases and slow-mo hand-to-hand combat shots in preposterous fights that go on forever...stunningly bad. Awful. Terrible.
The mask thing is wearing thin as well.

Thanks. I feel better now.
