Critics Sentiment
Final battle in warehouse with Woo's signature action sequences
Detective Mitchell shot and killed during Van Cleaf's ambush
The film jumps from its weakest point during Mitchell's death sequence to the highly praised bayou preparation with Uncle Douvee.
Hard Target starts strong with Woo's stylish action direction, dips during slower investigative sequences with weak supporting performances, then builds to spectacular finale. Critics consistently praised the over-the-top action sequences and villain performances while criticizing dialogue and plot holes. The film succeeds as entertaining spectacle despite narrative shortcomings.
