More than just an action film

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 1999)

Face/Off is first and foremost a slam bang action thriller. It contains some of the highest adrenaline action I've ever seen in a movie. But as a rebuttal to one reviewer who claimed that it was "indistinguishable from any Jerry Bruckheimer production", I would like to add that while those are cracklingly superior productions, they do not have the depth of Face/Off. I regard this film as one that actually makes a statement as well as pumps up the audience. It also features one of the most chilling plot twists in any film, I rate this a 10 out of 10 and hail it as one of the best films of 1997.
