It's hard to remember the whooshing sighs of disappointment from his fans that greeted John Woo in 1996 when, after so many half-steps and mis-starts, he made his big Hollywood debut with the stolen-nuke thriller Broken Arrow. Having left the Hong Kong business on a high with 1992's psychotic near-parody Hard Boiled, Woo did a Jean-Claude Van Damme flick -- 1993's Hard Target, which was heavily botched by studio interference but still contained some brilliant work -- before deciding to go seriously Hollywood. For Broken Arrow, he toned down his trademark mix of ultra-violent flourishes and teary-eyed humanism to concentrate on doing a by-the-book mid-'90s action flick that was generic in the extreme but raked in the money. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Wild At Heart (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Laura Dern Nicolas Cage Director: David Lynch | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/4/2006 | | Wild at Heart - DVD Review By: Jake Euker - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/17/2008 7:31 PM | |
Was there any film so anxiously awaited in the late 1980s and early 1990s as Wild at Heart? The picture was released to a cult that had just been born: that of its director, David Lynch, whose Blue Velvet, in 1986, had reaped an enthusiastic following among the mainstream hipsters who had missed Eraserhead in 1977, and whose budding appetite for Lynch’s singular brand of the macabre had been whetted by the prime-time ghoulishness of 1990’s Twin Peaks. Wild at Heart’s Palme d’Or win at Cannes just before its 1990 release only tantalized more; and after what seemed for Lynch’s starving fans a nearly eternal wait, the film opened at last to high expectations, but decidedly mixed reviews. read the full review | |
