Hard Target

Hard Target

“Don't hunt what you can't kill.”
★ 6.5 /10 (1,363) Rage • 1993 • 1h 39m
Action Thriller Crime
Director John Woo
Screenplay Chuck Pfarrer
John Woo's explosive American debut stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as a mullet-sporting Cajun drifter who protects a woman searching for her missing father and uncovers a ring that hunts homeless veterans for sport in New Orleans. Bringing Woo's balletic gun-fu and slow-motion mayhem to Hollywood, it is gloriously excessive genre filmmaking. Studio-trimmed but still ferocious, it earned a devoted following as a showcase for Van Damme at his most kinetic and Woo's stylish carnage.
