Travolta and Cage steal the show!

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2009)

After watching 'Face/Off', I looked at the box of the DVD and I was shocked that the movie was released in 1997.How was this movie made in 1997? The action sequences resemble 'Death Race', which was made in 2008, and this was made in 1997?I'm not complaining about this.Actually, I praise the stunt work and action in this movie.Now I'll be sure to watch some of John Woo's other movies, 'like 'Hard Boiled'.What else is there to say besides that the special effects are amazing? Hmmmm.Oh, the movie itself is amazing.I did not reconsider any 1 minute of this 139 minute action packed thrill ride that kept me on the edge of my seat.Even one of my friends really liked this movie.In fact, he was the one who introduced me to it.He asked me if I wanted to watch it and I said "Yes", not knowing that the movie would turn out to be a sure Oscar nominee.John Travolta and Nicholas Cage delivered some great, and I mean GREAT, performances.Without them, the movie probably would've been good, but not as good as with John and Nicholas.Add in some humor and you have yourself a roller coaster that lasts for two and a half hours and will make you clap and applaud.
