Rating: [R18]
Genres: Action/Adventure / Fantasy, Science Slip

Feat. John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, Joan Allen

Aroview: Dir. John Woo melds modern action technology with old-fashioned Mission Impossible-style intrigue.

Good guy John Travolta and bad guy Nicolas Cage get to swap faces (and moral traits) and relish every moment of a savvy script that explores every permutation of a bizarre and gleeful sci-fi premise. Described in one word: wow!

5 stars (Exceptional) Somehow one of my favourite action films, this is stylish action with a unique sci-fi theme, gritty “Hell-A” setting, and mesmerising performances by both Cage and Travolta. "It’s like looking in a mirror. Only... not." ~Tom H

2 stars (Good Try) The acting from the two leads is not too good and Cage is just silly at times - Joan Allen lends a bit of acting talent. The shoot outs between Cage and Travolta go on forever - they couldn't hit a barn door. ~Tubbs
