Action movie of 1997

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 1999)

Face/Off is one of the most original, interesting movies that I have ever seen. The action sequences are all outstanding and brilliantly directed by John Woo, who also directed Broken Arrow with John Travolta. The plot is the same "Saint vs. Sinner" as found in many movies, but this movie shows just how far the "saint" will go to catch the "sinner". John Woo's use of slow-motion is amazing. The part of the story that I enjoyed the most was how the characters were all given very different and unique personalities in such a short time. This is in my view the best action movie of 1997. The finale is a breathtaking action sequence. I gave it 10 out of 10. I hope that you all go out and rush to your video stores to rent Face/Off. If you love it, tell a friend, if you hate it tell an enemy.
