As he impersonates Castor and attempts to obtain the information from his imprisoned brother Pollux, tables become turned as Castor wakens, receives a transplant of Archer's face and moves in with his wife. John Woo's third American film is stylish, outrageous, and never slow; ignore any plot holes you might encounter. <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors">
