Still great fun to watch .....

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 2016)

I re-watched this on Blu-ray after nearly 20 years. It hasn't aged that well. But still packs a punch. The De Palmaesque scene at the beginning was well done. Cage had some awesome scenes - like the one where he gropes the choir girl. The preposterous plot actually threw up many possibilities all of which are not explored. Someone ought to remake the film as a thriller. It helps that both Cage and Travolta are terrific actors working in a commercial action film. Dominic Swaine is another lost talent. The action scenes are on another level. I read that it was originally planned with Stallone and Arnie.
The film could have used a really awesome background score. The score was pretty unremarkable.
(7/10)
