Game on with Face/Off

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2007)

I'm a big Woo Fan, so I'm not entirely objective here. So if you're not such a big Woo Fan as I am, you might object with my rating and think that I rated movie 1 or 2 stars too high.
The Face/Off story isn't new, but it is told with great bravura from John Woo. The actors are good too, although I think that Travolta might be the only weak link ... and still he's strong enough. No match for N. Cage, mind you.
If you've seen some Woo movies, you'll be familiar with his style. Pigeons, Slow Motion and so forth. Violence never looks so stylistic and theatrical ... it's a Woo blueprint! Of course there's more, but I won't spoil that for you ... watch the movie for yourself to see the drama ...
