THE best acting in any action film

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

Usually action movies are criticized heavily by critiques for its non-stop action scenes, and redundant explosive sequences (especially Michael Bay's films). But this is THE best action movie of all time. Great and simple story and interestingly told through great action, and this movie really has the best acting I have ever seen in an action movie. Travolta being Caster Troy is just astonishing, especially the scene where Travolta goes into prison to meet Cage (Archer), the way he smiles, the way he speaks, the way he moves is just pure Travolta cool. And Cage also was amazing, especially when he was in jail where he got into a fight with a fellow prisoner, you see him hating and feeling sorry for himself for doing the face surgery, but simultaneously he is "transforming" into Caster Troy and violently beating the prisoner up. This Travolta, Cage, and John Woo combination is undoubtedly one of the greatest actions films ever made.
