What a surprise! John Woo makes yet another action movie pitting two men on opposite sides of the law against each other in a seemingly endless parade of gunfire and jump cuts. The only new twist here is that the cop and the criminal swap faces thanks to plastic surgery and plot twists, so John Travolta ends up playing Nicholas Cage and vice versa. If you’re not in the mood for a long string of action sequences occasionally punctuated by story fragments, you’re probably better off skipping this one. But Woo fans will get a kick out of his usual bag of tricks. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
