Castor Freakin' Troy

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2002)

It's a great movie, one of the best pure action flicks of all time, with some incredible gunfight sequences and all sorts of chemistry between the characters. But even for all of that, what makes "Face/Off" stand out as a true classic is Castor Troy. Castor, a gun-happy terrorist who's a bad boy taken to the next level, ranks among the most compelling, fascinating villains of all time. Despite being evil wrapped in flesh and bone, Castor is everything we want to be--powerful, confident, poised, and, best of all, the embodiment of cool. Cage brings it all across better than Travolta, but not by much. Troy, no matter which actor is portraying him, takes control of the movie and brings it to the next level. A great film.
