Face/Off
Thursday, July 30 9pm
The outsized scale of Hollywood tended to stifle John Woo’s action chops, but he had excellent hole cards here in a loony premise and two of the English-speaking world’s preeminent scenery chewers in the lead roles.

There’s a bomb and some other folderol, but what else do you need? -Lee Gardner
