So the whole movie was based on something that could never happen.

Mind you, I was perfectly willing in "Face/Off" to accept Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switching faces and no one noticing anything, not even the WIFE of Travolta's character.

Maybe I just like John Woo films.

I hated "Air Force One." Actually, I hate almost everything Harrison Ford has done in the past fifteen years. Especially "Regarding Henry."








GR if you love John Woo movies go check out Blackjack with Dolph Lundgren with some hott blonde chic, and I think Shaft plays the boss

I like "Blade Runner," too. The Museum of the Moving Image in Queens has the model they used for the outside of that building... you know... that building, with all the lights...

Seattle, I have to admit I have a preference for Woo films with Chow Yun-Fat in them... too cool for school. Loved "The Killer."

Since we are bumping threads thought this was a good one. I really liked Clea DuVall in Wildflowers, a chic flick but I loved it.
