Face/Off
I found this film to be entertaining as fuck. The entire time I was wondering who I was rooting for, it was a complete mind fuck. Just them two trying to outplay each other is really riveting. Every action sequence was packed, charismatic, and all around fun. You really sympathize with Sean Archer and what he’s going through which is tough for action films to do. Travolta and Cage are fucking phenomenal, I just found it so amazing how they can just play each other and again it’s a mind fuck. This was their prime but what to them happened now? This has probably the greatest standoff ever in film history. This is filled with hilarious one liners but not in a bad way. The film keeps going and going and it never drags. The only complaint I have is that there are odd editing choices like the slo mos or some close ups and they happen quite frequently. But Face/Off is the most surprising film I’ve seen this month and it fucking stars John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, let that sink in for a little bit.
