For weeks I have prayed to the movie Gods for a film that would give me a sustained adrenaline rush, would have really strong characters, and would give me something to remember this summer by. Finally, my prayers have been answered. Face-Off is my deliverance from the normal humdrum summer action fare. Directed by the stylistically supreme John Woo, he gives us something to relieve us from the summer heat´a really cool movie.
