John Travolta as Sean Archer


I thought this was one of the best performances Travolta's ever given. In just about 20-30 minutes of screen time, he shows us exactly who this guy is. Bravo, John.

Agreed. I'd say this is Travolta's 3rd best acting performance, behind Blow Out and Pulp Fiction.

reply

Amen to that.

I think Travolta and Cage both appreciated the opportunity to be in roles where they could play both good and bad characters, as well as bad characters forced to be good and vice versa.

reply

Not bad, but I liked Cage better as Archer.
