This is what a John Woo film is supposed to be!

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 1999)

Finally, after 2 strikes, John Woo hits a home run with Face/Off. This is what a John Woo film is supposed to be. From tender moments (Archer's son being a sniper's victim) to gut-wrenching action (the pyrotechnic shootout in the hideout), this movie has it all. Topping it off with an intelligent storyline, this is a 5-star performance!
John Travolta and Nic Cage are just the best good guy/bad guy combination you could think of. The two are just brilliant as each other. There were a few question marks (Could Nic Cage really escape the maximum security prison after being there for a few days?), but that does not harm the film in any way.
A John Woo classic. 'nuff said
