I Can't Imagine A Better Action Film!

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2003)

Ever since the first time I saw this film in 1997 I could not envision a better action film. The style, the language, and the acting is superb. Add to that music that makes the dark vision of the movie come alive and you have a perfect action film. John Travolta and Nicolas Cage each play Castor Troy and Sean Archer to perfection. They get the evil and good parts down to such accuracy that it becomes creepy at times to think that someone we think is good could turn out to be evil. Joan Allen and Dominique Swain are extraordinary as the family of Sean Archer who unknowingly take in the villain as their husband and father. And director John Woo gives this film a certain amount of artistry that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the acting and action of this magnificant movie. I give 4 out of 4 stars to Face/Off!
