One of the Action Greats!!!

Rating: 9/10 (24 September 1999)

John Woo is simply amazing. I still haven't seen any of his earlier films before coming to America, but I own both Broken Arrow and Face/Off and I can't wait till Mission Impossible 2 comes out. It's my opinion that the final battle between Troy and Archer should be watched in film schools as the proper way to make an action sequence. The camera shots are amazing, and the music is perfect. When the theme kicks in just as Cage's boat jumps through the police boat, I still get chills. Some may complain that it is too drawn out, but the movie has to build to an ending that is this oversized. It is the battle between the ultimate villain and the ultimate cop, almost like the chase between Frankenstein and his monster.
