I think its a cultural thing. A good example would be John Woo.His HK movies were masterpieces of style and substance.i.e. The Killer, Hard Boiled, Bullet in the Head, A Better Tomorrow. As soon as he went Hollywood his movies seemed to lose something in translation.

In this MTV age , here in the states, everything has to be bigger,louder and faster.

We still get a few independent gems once in a while, maybe the tide will turn, but I doubt it.
