"Face/Off" may very well be the best action movie of the 90's. The story is pretty good. After Sean Archer (Travolta) son is killed accidently by Castor Troy (Cage), Archer lives, breathes, and sleeps Castor Troy. Six Years Later, he finally gets him. However, Castor Troy put a bomb in the LA Convention Center. The only way to find it is to have Archer become Troy to get Pollox Troy (Castor's brother) to tell Archer where it is. Then, Castor Troy awakes from his coma and becomes Sean Archer. The whole switching faces thing is a little silly. But, the movie does a good job of making the audience actually care about Sean Archer's struggles throughout. I am convinced that John Woo is the best director when it comes to action movies. The shootouts in this movie are some of the best I have ever seen. John Travolta and Nicolas Cage do a great job with their roles in the movie. If you haven't seen "Face/Off", go buy the DVD NOW!
