The best action film by the best action director

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2017)

This movie simply shows why John Woo is the top action director of the last three decades, who reshapes the Hong Kong cinema and highly influences the American cinema.
The action sequences are brilliant and well-choreographed as always. The plane chase in the first act, and the Mexican standoff and the speedboat chase in Act 4, are absolutely thrilling and astonishing.
John Travolta and Nicholas Cage both give their career-best performances, in the sense that each of them has to play the role of the other actor and that they superbly make it.
