Short Review: Face/Off (John Woo, 1997)

You do not like Face / Off? John Woo famous 1997 action thriller still holds good today. The abundance of frenetic action sequences are spectacular and the exchange agreement between the FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) and sociopath and notorious terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage), has both psychological complexity (especially Archer, who was trapped in a maximum security prison with large identity of Troy with his family at risk) and the surprising sincerity. There are some brilliant one-liner, with Cage and Travolta with manic demented performance that really benefit from the film, are present in Cage (as Castor Troy) is particularly funny. Caring for a good dose of action in style? Face / Off offer. The premise is plausible too ridiculous to you? In Praise of the display with a few beers. This will help.
