Entertaining...but not more

Nice action scenes and creative story but you have to keep the button for your "sense of realism" switched off during most of the time... apart from that the main actors do a quite good job.

I saw this film yesterday, and thinking back about it, I only remember the action scenes. I remember buildings exploding, boats exploding, piers exploding. Because that's what it's good at.

The film sees a terrorist taking on the face of a honest cop, and the cop in turn taking the face of the terrorist. One... read more

I had already seen this movie, even in the movie theater when it was released, but since I had it on DVD, I thought I might as well check it out again. Back then, in the 90’s, when John Woo finally made the move to Hollywood, many expected that he would make some amazing action flicks but, unfortunately, most of them turned out to be seriously disappointing. This movie is however one of the fe... read more

To foil an extortion plot, an FBI agent undergoes a face-transplant surgery and assumes the identity and physical appearance of a ruthless terrorist, but the plan backfires when the same criminal impersonates the cop with the same method.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1739 movies items)

" Directed by John Woo, this wonderfully crazy, and over the top action, has John Travolta and Nicholas Cage trading places. It’s Freaky Friday, but with bullets and explosions. 1997, was indeed a big year for Nicholas Cage, given that this movie and Con Air were big hits at the box office."

"16.8. Blu-ray Nicolas Cagen pelleily on aina hienoa. Varsin hienoa on myös, kun John Travolta esittää Cagea. Toimintakohtaukset ovat ulkoisesti tyylikkäitä, mutta oletettua sieluttomampia. Melodraama ja hidastukset muuttuvat Hollywoodissa sentään odotetusti hassuiksi. Juoni on aivan pönttö, se ei ole ainakaan elokuvan haitaksi, eikä kukaan tajua Cagen veljen olevan oikeasti kadonnut Gallagher-veli.
