Best Action Movie Of 1997

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 1999)

Face/Off is the best action movie of 1997. The end sequence is a marvel. The directing by John Woo, who also directed Broken Arrow with John Travolta, was simply amazing. His use of slow motion added drama to something as simple as taking off a ring. The special effects for the surgery were very realistic, considering the fact that the surgery is impossible as described. John Travolta and Nicholas Cage work wonderfully together and did outstanding jobs in mimicing each others movements for after the surgery. I gave this movie 10 out of 10 for the incredible action, for the humor that is added by Travolta and Cage, and for the touch of humanity brought forth in some of the more dramatic parts. I would recommend this to any action fan.
