Abstract | Having attained major success in Hong Kong with films like A Better Tomorrow, and a cult following abroad with The Killer and Hard Boiled, John Woo, a famous director in Hong Kong, made the trek to Tinseltown. In 1997, Face/Off marks a triumphant return to critical acclaim; Woo has proved that he can make an American movie without sacrificing the home-grown style that makes his work so unusual. This article traces his path to success. |
