The supporting cast is a good one too, with Joan Allen and Gina Gershon excelling themselves as partners caught up in the gunfire. You can't deny that these two leads both deliver polished performances. On the other hand, Travolta gets to replay the same over the top, outlandish villain that he did in BROKEN ARROW, which borders on irritating yet for the most part is fun to watch. Cage proves himself as more than just an action man, and conveys brilliantly the feelings of a man trapped with a face that is not his own, and frequently is called to cry and show despair. Travolta and Cage relish the opportunity to play both bad guys and good guys, but Cage is definitely more at home in the role of a hero (his villainous turn at the beginning of the film is just too slimy and makes you feel like turning off). Thanks to some great acting, the action, when it comes, is all the better as it involves characters we care about. Based on an outlandish premise (two people swap faces and identities), there is more plot here than other action films of our time. John Woo's third film made in America returns to the classy days of HARD TARGET after the dismal failure of BROKEN ARROW.
