Face/Off

Up for one tight little action film possessing an actual plot and some real characters? Face/Off fills this order in spades! Director John Woo delivers a complex though somewhat unbelievable story with his signature flair and style and as a result gets tow of the finest performances you will ever see out of John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. I say unbelievable because of the whole face switching elelement of the plot and this is understandable as it was meant to be shot in a future setting but for budget reasons was left in present day. There are far more subleties present here than one may be used to in a Hollywood blockbuster and this is solely the result of Woo overseeing the project. Supreme credos also have to be given to the stunt performers here as some serious bumps are had by many. If you are like me and remember this as lessthan satisfying back when it came out, I would strongly urge you to look again....it's far better than anything currently in the theatre!
