“Action films are a dime a dozen. Many really suck. A few stand out. Of all the action fims Iu0026#39;ve ever seen in my life, this one held me as much as any not directed by John Woo. The gun battle toward the end of the film is exhilarating. Any action fan that thinks u0026quot;Matrix-styleu0026quot; slow motion bullets are the end-all, be-all of effects should check u0026quot;bulletrideu0026quot; effect at the end of this film. And to its amazing credit, this film was made without the help of Hollywood digital effects. I havenu0026#39;t even mentioned CHOW YUN-FAT. He is AWESOME in this film. The man is as bad-ass as Mel Gibson any day. u0026quot;Full Contactu0026quot; is based on the same book as u0026quot;PayBack.u0026quot; Let me tell you this film runs ring around payback in areas of acting, directing, violence and coolness. There is no substitute for Chow Yun-Fat. If youu0026#39;re dying for a style filled actioner and have exhausted your John Woo collection, then check out u0026quot;Full Contact.u0026quot;”
