The Woo Meister strikes

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2000)

Well this is a good movie, the action is good, the story is OK (a wee bit unbelievable you may say, but this is an action flick and not a Spike Lee movie), the actors are good, from the lovely Dominique Swain, to Nicolas Cage (VERY GOOD, I like him a LOT, in almost every movie, due to his appearance) as both Troy and Archer and Travolta was good too, though not as good as Cage (Travolta is better in other roles, I didn't like his Archer, but the Castor he played rocked (such a cool father type)). The direction is well, if you know the name John Woo, you know what I mean. There are of course a few bad things here, a bit too much drama, crying and so on you sometimes feeling you have rented a Meryl Streep film. A little few action scenes but something really outstanding is shown here also, characters in an action film!!! The opening scenes are the best in this one, from the first kill, to where Troy is captured. HALLELUJAH!

8 out of 10
