Face Off (1997) |
"A slam-bang-in-your-face action thriller with big explosions, multiple bullet storms, spectacular stunts and (get this), great performances, interesting characters, an intelligent script, witty dialogue, a strong female presence, and an intriguing premise" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
