The most overrated film of '97.

Rating: 4/10 (17 January 2000)

How is it possible that a film containing one of the most incredibly STUPID plot holes, logic leap, dumb trick - call it what you like - can be so popular? I don't get it. Just how can Cage and Travolta can switch faces and no one notices that they did? More to the point, how can they switch faces at all? I don't buy it. And then this film becomes really lousy.
Yeah yeah, great action - I've seen better. Great performance? NOOOOOO, just have a look at the scene where Cage says "I'm going to take his face ... off", that's AWFUL!
There is only one part that I fully enjoyed. That's when Cage's character discovers just what the prison he is placed in is... That's great. I just wish I had seen it in another movie. This one is clearly overrated.
