Between the bullets

by Michael Bliss

"John Woo is widely regarded as a master action director, but scant attention has been paid to the manner in which Woo's films reflect the director's religious and ethical concerns. Between the Bullets examines respresentative films from the director's Hong Kong and American periods and proposes that Woo be regarded as a predominantly religious director whose action films explore the nature and quality of spirituality."--BOOK JACKET.
