III was directed by J.J. Abrams, of Alias and Lost fame.

I would throw Face/Off on that list as well. Less watchable with each viewing, methinks.

Yeah, that's the badger. The long hair, sunglasses, black leather jacket, motorcycle . . . it all screamed mid-life crisis
John Woo just seems out of touch. He made a massive contribution in the '90s with The Killer and Hard Boiled, but even in those you can tell how he can't really sustain a story or develop characters. In a post-Matrix action movie world, he just ain't got what it takes.

Michael Mann is one of my favourite directors. He'd actually be a pretty good choice to direct the RJ movie, as long as you made him promise not to mess around with the source material too much before he got stuck in.
Imagine if Tom Cruise in Collateral got transported to New York and locked in a ship's hold with a bunch of Rakoshi. Would be good. :p

What about Antoine Fuqua?
I don't know much about what he's done except for The Replacement Killers, and I thought that was pretty great.
