In Order To Trap Him He Must Become Him. I Wouldn't Do It. Not In The Same Class Of Hard Boiled And Don't Mention This Film In The Same Breath As The Killer

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 1998)

Face Off is alright but far too overrated. Both Travoltra and Cage are good with a tricky story.
Basically if you have not seen John Woo's Hong Kong films you will think that this film is the dogs' bullo##s.
Hard Target is much better and even Broken Arrow comes close.
Even though I must admit the last ten mintues along with the opening and opening credits was worth the admission fee alone.
No way as good as Hard Boiled (An amazing film and what a last hour) and The Killer is a master, so not in that league.
Johnny Woo is still the greatest film director ever no doubt for The Killer alone but this was a little disappointing. Definitely seen better and The Rock and Con Air are better.
O.K Film with a great last ten minutes.
