John and Nic from USA, John from HK ..... ACTION FROM HELL !

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 1999)

Castor Troy and Sean Archer. The ultimate enemies. Face/Off is about relationship between those two men. That´s a VERY rare thing to see in an action movie. It doesnt concentrate on the action itself, it's more about Castor and Sean. John Woo, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. These three people bring you the best action movie of 1997 (well....actually Face/Off, The Rock and The Matrix are the best action movies of all times...in my opinion, that is). While John Travolta makes Sean (who really is Castor...are you lost ? well....you have to see it, to understand it) really evil, Nicolas Cage gives one of his best performance in his career. Face/Off features the ultimately best ACTING in an action movie. That's not all.....where is the action ??? ......well...the answer is ...EVERYWHERE. John Woo manages to surpass Michael Bay´s masterpiece The Rock with his TERRIFIC action sequences. If you had a chance to see John´s previous movies (Hard Boiled, The Killer, A better tomorrow 1, 2 or his US debut Hard target) you know what I mean. Overall, Face/Off is one of the best movies I´ve seen.
