    More poo from John Woo! John Travolta's acting is laughable but it?s so bad you keep watching. It?s a terrible film though so please don't bother!

    Standard action movie. Nothing particularly great, but nothing that bad either.
  • September 18, 2008
    This was before Travolta started kinda grating on my nerves.

    Travolta, Slater and John Woo - Enuff said!!! (did i mention 2 nuclear bombs??)
  • March 25, 2008
    John Travolta is just so deliciously evil in this one. Nice popcorn action flick.
  • November 14, 2009
    it was kinda boring to me

    Another one of those Con-Air types. Was appealing to "mid 90's me" not so much to "2009 me."

    Good film. John Travolta is awesomely evil.
  • October 7, 2009
    Probably the worst movie I've seen. No disrespect to John Woo or John Travlolta...
