It's big, fast, violent, action-packed. It's also smart, clever and immensely entertaining. In the course of events that could lead to a possible L.A. wipeout, the two protagonists get to trade identities, families and, yes, even faces. Travolta and Cage seem to be having a ball goofing on each other and we share in their fun. The energetic direction is by Hong Kong master John Woo in his best Hollywood outing by far.
Third time's a charm.
