This is the film that made John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat household names within action-crazed American households. Elements of conventional melodrama and criminal double-crosses blend in this story about a hitman conducting one last job to earn the money to restore the eyesight of a woman he had previously blinded.

In love and on the lam – David Lynch-style.

Home Alone is the apex, the pinnacle, the culmination of every bad bit Hughes has ever written or directed. It overflows with primitive, disastrously unfunny sight gags and neo-hateful familial humor.

Burton’s combination of fantastic and real imagery adds to this story’s dreamy but satiric edge. Depp, as the the fragile but irresistibly fabulous title character, is “shear” delight.
