It's fair to say Blackjack has a unique premise in this regard, as chromophobia is a condition very rarely depicted in movies or TV. When his condition is triggered, Dolph Lundgren's Jack is left dazed and disoriented - which is bad in a gunfight. Jack deals with this by wearing glasses all the time, but of course, the story has to contrive instances where he can't avoid the color. The most outrageous is when he chases the killer into a dairy and is showered with milk during a shootout. Somehow, the killer quickly deduces Jack's fear and thus begins to dress in white during later encounters.

Despite being a TV movie shot in Canada, Woo still brings his stylish flair to Blackjack. It retains his stylish camerawork and themes, in addition to featuring some great gunfights. The whole affair is undeniably over the top and goofy - including Jack killing gunmen while bouncing on a trampoline - but it's still recommended for fans of John Woo's work, especially as it came between Face/Off and Mission: Impossible 2. It's also a good showcase for Dolph Lundgren, who gets to play a much suaver and charming character than his usual array of heroes. Jack wears nice suits, practices magic tricks and even gets a slo-mo dance scene. Blackjack also ends on a hopeful note, with Jack able to overcome his condition long enough to defeat the killer in the finale.
