...Face/Off In this schizoid actioner, John Woo harnesses his explosive visual finesse to a mad fable of two men (Nicolas Cage and John Travolta) who become what they most hate: each other. Hollywood high concept meets Hong Kong turbo technique for double the pleasure, double the art. Woo's best since Bullet in the Head...

Later he bought a Porsche 930 Turbo he called the "rocket," then a Mercedes, a Jaguar XJ6, a $60,000 Carrera Cabriolet 964, a $380,000 Porsche 959 that ended up impounded in a customs shed because it couldn't meet import emission standards, and a Ferrari 348 that became known as the "dune buggy" after he spun...
