Poorly constructed action movie...

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 1999)

If you're one of those pretentious art house types ("Look at the way they load that gun, look at they way he flies in the air in slow motion, look at the dust clearing slowly as the gunfire stops) you'll consider this movie as a work of art, the type you hear about in the morning at your cafe. On the other hand, if you're a movie goer with common sense, you'll recognize this movie had "better" flaws than script and action sequences...
What if they just switched brains? That would make more sense. The science is flawed. They may have changed their facial appearance, but Travolta is bulkier and Cage is slenderer and much taller. Why did only a few people know about this "face changing" mission? Troy wakes up out of a coma with gauze around his head, and somehow forces the doctors to put Archer's face on in its place. Wouldn't there be anestetic and sedatives involved? Olah?
This was a totally stupid movie. I like some stupid action movies, that is, if they're bad enough to entertain me, but this left me wondering when the credits were going to roll, and whether there was a notation from John Woo explaining if he makes bad American action movies on purpose... "Hard Target" was actually quite good, but writer's obiously took its toll right away.
