Not a classic - Face/Off review by AER
I don't think I've ever liked Face/Off. Back in the 90s (iirc) Nicolas Cage was riding high off the back of The Rock, then Con Air, and John Travolta was riding on the back of Pulp Fiction - so I was looking forward to this. I didn't like the overracting and the really bad script. The action sequences still hold up like the speed boat chase and the run way battle, but the acting dates it badly yet I wasn't engrossed at the time either. The film is predictable and lacked flovour. i think this is my least favourite of John Woo's Hoolywood films (in the 90s) - I even prefer Broken Arrow and Windtalkers to this. Hard Target is king. :)
PS look out for an early appearance by Thomas Jane in the prison sequences.
