John Woo's entertaining movie is a symphony of stunts, sight gags, and brilliant cinematic excess at the extreme cinematic limits of macho bonding and bravura.
A Nietzschean nut of an Air Force officer (the thoroughly beguiling John Travolta) schemes to hide missing nuclear weapons in major cities and blackmail the government for $250 million. What follows is a series of escalating confrontations elevated by some of the best sight gags and stunts since Buster Keaton. Woo takes nuclear terrorism and macho posing seriously, even as he ingeniously lampoons them.
