It's like looking in a mirror, only, not. There's a tendency to undervalue the action movie. Certainly there's a wide expanse of land in cinema world where film fans reside, where the thought of praising an action film for being "classic" cinema is considered treason against the very word. Yet some of the artistry involved in the genre's leading lights is purely sublime, regardless of how bizarre and unlikely the plot is.

John turns into Nicholas and Nicholas turns into John. I would say Nicholas Cage played it better then John Travolta did.

“Troy” (Nicolas Cage) is a nasty piece of work, and his latest bombing plot has attracted the attention of FBI man “Archer” (John Travolta). Now he has some personal skin in the game, as his nemesis was responsible for the death of his young son - an event both he and wife, physician “Eve” (Joan Allen) are still coming to terms with. When they apprehend him, though, the boffins come up with an unique plan that will enable "Archer" to infiltrate the terrorist gang and bring them all to justice whilst saving the city of Los Angeles from a grizzly...
