I was rooting for John in this movie to succeed in his plan. I knew that wasn't going to happen but the movie had Christian Slater going up against him. I find Slater to be OK but incredibly bland, the kind of actor who is just there but doesn't add much to the movie in terms of acting or charisma. Travolta on the other hand is overacting and having so much fun being the bad guy I wanted him to kick Slater's ass and ride off into the sunset. Of course this is a typical 80s/90s action movie so the good guy wins and gets the girl but even though Travlolta's character dies he goes out in style. The movie overall is super cheesy and fun, this is what an action movie should be, not the super serious, wannabe realistic schlock we get today. This is balls to the wall fun directed by John Woo who knows how to make a good, fun action flick and make it so corny its laughable but that is the point. Not as good as Hard Target or Face/Off but damn good, solid 7/10.
