Cast: John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, Joan Allen

Hoezo in KINO

Hong Kong legend John Woo’s first foray into Hollywood filmmaking will always remain his most brilliantly unhinged on American soil as the studio gave the director ‘carte blanche’ for this batshit crazy masterclass in action cinema. Travolta, hot off his Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty resurgence, and Cage completing an unbelievable action trifecta after The Rock and Con Air, ramp up the insanity in this face-swapping bonanza of overacting, incredible set pieces and dove decorated double handed gunfights. English language without subtitles.
