Not among Woo's best, especially with Chow Yun absent - but still watchable.

Rated: 3/5

Starts out comically stupid, like a bad parody of bad American action movies. And then, as the pointless, wanton, style-less murder and destruction piled on and on it just became depressing and unpleasant to watch. I like gunfire and explosions...but not like this. Though I have to admit that final desperate, savage throwdown was pretty cool. More of that, and less "dudes standing in fields waving their guns around", would have gone a long way.

One of the most outrageously insane movies I've seen in quite a while. Woo's late-80's/early-90's films are the best and this one is sadly overlooked.

Heroes Shed No Tears Is Director John Woo's Ferocious & Brutal War Movie. Legendary Chinese Action Film Director John Woo Brings To The Screen His First Slo-Mo Gunfest Of Gory Glory, Where An Eye For An Eye Is Played Out In Unforgettable Flesh Tearing Action. Anyone Tiring Of The Formulaic "Hollywood" Woo, Would Love This As The Style Of Filmmaking In His Own Country Is Far Better. This Is Woo At His Most Brutal & With An Arsenal Of Explosive Mayhem, He Pulls Out All The Stops To Show The True Hell Of War. Eddy Ko Stars As Chinese Mercenary Chan Chung Who Is Hired To Kidnap An Infamous Thai Drug Baron & Bring Him To Justice. On The Trail They Conflict With A Vietnamese General & From That Point On Find Themselves Fighting On Two Increasingly Vicious Fronts, With More Still To Come
