Brilliant Performances

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 1999)

They say John Woo is the master of action. Don't listen to them.
The action sequences get boring when they decide to go to slow motion. By the end of the film, it was the action sequences that bored me. But the *acting* in this film is so amazing I will can't recommend this film highly enough. Action movies don't generally get nominated for anything, least of all Acting awards, but without A+ performances from both Cage and Travolta, the movie wouldn't work.
You believe it, 100%. Brilliant piece of work.
