What I TRYING to say is I think Travolta will do OK in this role as it's pretty two-dimentional... Plus I saw footage of the filming on YouTube from bystanders who took video.. What I weird about is Gandolfini as the Mayor.. The Mayor was a pretty small role and to give it to this one-trick pony.. will no doubt make them want to expand the role and that will take away from the movie and the story which is awesome as it is!

i have little or no faith in travolta, but every once in a while he pulls a good performance out of his ass.

hopefully tony scott can manipulate travolta into not sucking.
