After a rocky start, director John Woo is well on the track to becoming a great Hollywood director just as he was the best Hong Kong action film director. But inbetween his major projects, he has directed two feature-length pilot episodes for television action series.
This is a remake of his Hong Kong action comedy 'Once A Thief', but has been toned down to be the pilot for a promising TV series. The acting is good to say the cast are all B-listers, but it doesn't have the same style as his major films.
Not as bad as you'd expect. But then again not that good.
