One of the best films of 1997 and Travolta's best ever

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2000)

I've admired John Travolta since the days of 'Welcome Back Kotter.' But after a hand full of bad movies and flops in the early eighties, I was about ready to write him off. What do I know. Face Off was easily one of 1997 best films and Travolta's best movie. The reason the movie works so well is; (1)Brilliant story. (2)Great characters and (3)terrific action. No one does it better than director John Woo. (Well, Spielberg is close)
