Fun Action Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2011)

This is what I call a breakthrough film in the action genre. Before 1997, there have been many excellent action movies. But John Woo and special effects brought something more to the table. I have not seen such a grand action movie before 1997, the year this movie was released.
This is about an FBI agent, Sean Archer whose life mission is to track down his nemesis, Castor Troy for personal reasons. And that involves him and Castor switching bodies.
Nicolas Cage was on a hot streak in the late 90's starring in the Rock, Con Air, and now this. He should play the villain more often. John Travolta did a pretty awesome job too.
The action is fantastic. John Woo gave this film plenty of action which I came to expect from him. The score is wonderful too. I think this is John Powell's first feature film.
Overall, this is a great movie. I also loved the boots the prisoners had to wear in the prison. I think that's cool. I rate this film 9/10.
