Summary: You gotta be KIDDING
Review: Obviously the "action movie" audience is very much lacking in anything resembling standards. I rented this film after being told how "awesome" it was. I found myself alternately laughing at it or wondering what the hell the director was thinking when he made it. The whole premise of the film is a joke. Switching faces? PLEASE! By the time they got to where Nicholas Cage was hanging on to the side of speedboat, basically waterskiing without WATERSKIS, I was laughing so hard my sides hurt. I had expected better after Broken Arrow, which, while quite DUMB, was at least entertaining. I only hope this review will save some poor innocent from buying this monstrosity.

Summary: AWESOME!!
Review: This movie is the best of the best if you like action movies this is for you. Sometimes you have movies like mission impossible and it is really confusing well it might sound like this movie is confusing but it really isn't not even close. This is my favorite movie until matrix came out but this is still worth your money but it does have some bad words so watch out.

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Action Movie ever
Review: I love this movie. It has good actors, with a good script,good special effects, and best of all John Woo. John Woo is one of the best directors...in fact the best. He revolutionized the action movie genre with slow motion and diving with guns akimbo. Without him the greatest movie ever(The Matrix), would probably not have been the way it was.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Action on the highest level, SUPERB!
Review: Hmmmm....... now this is John Woo!

''It like looking in a mirror, only....... not''

Since John Woo had done his Hollywood debut there have been 2 movies that John Woo have directed!(if we now count away MI2, Mission Impossible 2) One is Hard Target, and the other one is Broken Arrow......... Now, this two movies have not shown up the quality of the real John Woo Action(masterpiece)style!

BUT THIS ONE HAS!

(Castor Troy=Nicholas Cage) (Sean Archer =John Travolta)

The Story is quite orginal, but i dont have mutch time so im gonna take it all in a nutshell: Castor(the terrorist) tryes to kill Sean Archer(FBI), but instead he kills his son, Michael! So now Archer has been trying to cath Castor Troy for eight years, and now he finally does it! (In a airport warehouse, after an magical gun fight) So, Castor wounds up in an koma, but before that he, and his brother Pollux placed a bomb, somewhere in the town! So Archer investigate Pollux, but he does'nt get anything out of it, so he turns into Castor, by an operation, to get some info out of Pollux. And now he finally does! But Castor awakens from his koma and takes Archers place, and it's now evreything begins! (Okay, this was'nt a nutshell........ this was one big, giant coconut!)

Wow! This is John Woo trademark! The fantastic two fisted gunfights, the doves, the chirch, ''the eternal fight beetween good and evil!'' You should have seen this, either you're a John Woo fan or not! This is great! It's not as great as The Killer, Hard Boiled, ex ex! But still it's his greatest Hollywood film! The only thing to complain on is the happy ending with makes me a little bit sick, and the fact that it's MUTCH more yabba yabba yabba(talk) then high quality action! But the great lines and the teriffic dialouge makes up for it!

This is John Woo, you can see it right away! So my advice is go and buy this now. Dont rent, BUY! So you have your own copy, that you can watch on as much as you like! Because i think you're gonna need it!

''Ready, Ready for the big ride, Baby!''

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Flawless action film!
Review: I have to say: This is one of the best action films that I have ever seen in my entire life! It is also one of the most original films in it's genre. John Travolta's performace is great, and so is Nicholas Cage's. John Woo's direction was excellent, and he should definitly make more action films! I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hard boiled action
Review: Castor Troy a terrorist has planted a deadly bomb somewhere in L.A and now he is in a coma,The FBI has to dispose it and save the city, How!.You could ask his brother phollex but this guy is a paranoid and would not talk to anyone besides his brother.So what do you do, Simple you ask Sean Archer a Fellow FBI agent who knows troy very well to do a special surgery that takes his face off and replaces it with that of castor troy. Everything goes fine but Troy wakes up from the coma and bullied the doctors to put the face of archer.And Now we have two guys running arround with each others face.

The plot is yes as plausable as winged pigs,Then how does it works because john travolta and nick cage makes us belive.The film is directed by ace hongkong director john Woo. And not surprisingly it has one of the best action sences ever seen in a hollywood film. An extended helicopter stunt,A climatic boat chase,A dizzy seuence on an oil rig.The action sences are truely poetric.But the action doesnt quite swamp the story line.

Do you know the writers actually wrote the for arnold and stallone why didnt that happen it could be more interesting that way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good vs. Evil -- A Face-Off!
Review: This is a fast paced action movie of the best kind! -- John Travolta is the corruption fighting good cop who becomes the target of evil career criminal Nicolas Cage. There are several clever plot switches (involving the assuming of another's identity--literally!) and surprises. The conclusion is a bit predictable, but adds to the "human" side of this somewhat violent thriller. Recommended!
