An Action Epic Indicative of 90s Version of 'Cool'

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2019)

John Woo's "Face/Off" has characters constantly doing physically impossible things, more explosions and fireworks than most Michael Bay movies, and a plot that would fall apart under the smallest bit of scrutiny, but at the same time, it features some of the most hilariously over the top performances I've ever seen from John Travolta ("Pulp Fiction") and Nicolas Cage ("Mandy") and the reality-defying action sequences make "Face/Off" one of the most fun action flicks from the 90s. "Face/Off" isn't a great film, but it is an absolute riot.
