A CLASSIC ACTION MOVIE!

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 1999)

When this movie came out in the summer of 1997, I must have seen it three times! It scared me to picture a situation of having a convict and I switch faces, because I would be screwed like Sean Archer(the good one) in this movie was! I think that both men, Cage and Travolta, did a good job switching the personalities as well as their faces. I liked it better the action movie, Broken Arrow that was released a year before this one was. Now the action was very good in this, which leads me to my complaint of 90's action movies:TOO MUCH ACTION, AND NOT ENOUGH PLOT. My younger brother and I agree that all of the action movies of the 1990's don't have the same touch as the 1980's ones did. In the 1980's, movies like 48 Hours had good acting, and the plot was interesting. In the 1990's, it seems as though every action movie is trying to become an oscar. But that must be the trend. In the 1950's, sci-fi's were popular. In the 1960's it was spaghetti westerns. In the 1970's and 1980's, there were many horror and comedy movies. But I am sure in the next 10 years, we will be saying how much we missed excessive action movies.
