Revisit the Hollywood classic directed by John Woo. In terms of casting, John Travolta's performance in Pulp Fiction is definitely a monument in film history, but his performance here was obviously overwhelmed by Cage. After that, there were a lot of pictures of direct confrontation. From the perspective of tactics and the inner direction of the characters, Travolta should have the advantage, but maybe Cage is not short of money at this time. It is indeed more attractive to grasp the details. people.

Back in the movie, director John Woo rarely took over the film with a face-changing plot that was rarely made in the world. The result was rave reviews and really opened up his fame in Hollywood. Of course, John Woo is in Hollywood can only make police and gangster films that it is good at, and it does not have the variety of Ang Lee's performance.

Many details in the movie are very particular. First of all, the mirror shots in the movie are really good. It may be because two people change their faces. Relying on the mirror, what is in the mirror is the self before the face change, and the one outside the mirror is the self after the face change, and the effect of the mirror several times is good enough. Another point is the last scene where people confront each other with guns, which is full of Hong Kong film style.

    Brother Cage had a very melancholic face. It seemed that many people owed him money, and they still owed him money. Brother John was full of spring breeze, as if he owed Cage a lot of money.
