Absolutely ridiculous premise, with a story and direction that regularly opts for explosions and big American style moments rather than respecting the viewer's intelligence. Nicolas Cage and John Travolta compete to see who is a worse actor, and Cage "wins." Sean Penn nailed it when he said disparagingly after movies like this that "Nic Cage is no longer an actor. He's more like a performer." John Woo serves up cliché after cliché (the black sidekicks, the rebellious daughter, the improbable gunfights, the silly editing during the action scenes...) and this thing just went on and on until that horrifically cheesy ending. Seriously, the only thing this is good for is laughing at how bad it is.
