reservoir dogs my ass

I'm watching the John Woo film City On Fire, which people say inspired Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs. I'd say this is true, except for the fact that:

a) The only thing they have in common is that four guys rob a store at one point.
b) Reservoir dogs was actually good.

This movie sucks. Crappy action, crappy acting, crappy plot.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through, and I don't really have any interest in finishing it, except that I'm just hoping there's some cool gun battle or car chase or something redeeming at all.

The only thing I've been impressed with so far is that his music choice was before his time. Most the music in this movie actually sounds like music from a modern action film, as opposed to all the garbage you normally hear in 80's action films.

Edit: Okay, the end of it got better, especially with Woo having the guts to make a non-happy ending. And there was an old dude organizing the robbery, so it was a bit more Reservoir Dogs-esque. But still, I'd only give it about a 4/10.
