Absolutely bonkers. Peak Nic Cage mania. It’s over the top, but a really good time.
Your enjoyment depends on your ability to suspend your disbelief on the outlandish premise. If you can, it’s an identity switchin’ blast
Excellent action flick with top-notch yet slyly winking performances from Travolta & Cage, consistently over-the-top but brilliantly so
Imagine a body swap movie in which John Travolta (FBI agent) and Nicholas Cage (Terrorist) surgically swap faces. It’s real.
It’s crazy that you do forget that the actors play different characters because they do it so damn well
Just an absolutely absurd concept but a wild ride from start to finish
Such a funny concept and they definitely pull it off!
Obviously there are a lot of plot holes and dumb dialogues, but action scenes are greatly choreographed and it is somehow profound…
You could have easily fooled me if you told me it came out recently. It's a well-written script with great action and a weird/unique concept
Cage and Travolta trading to out act each other. What else can be said. Still a crazy plot and a decent movie
