Anyone else thinks that this is better than 'Face/off' ?

I really like Hard Target.

I've never liked Face/Off.

Would the answer to the question be what the Americans call a "No Brainer"?

"face/off" is way too long, but it's got much better dialogue/character banter, and the hilarious over-the-top performances of both cage and travolta

Yes, I think "Hard Target" is much, much better! "Face/Off" had some really fun performances. But, the action scenes were overwrought and uninspired. Plus, the whole premise is patently silly! Woo deserved a much better script than he was given in "Face/Off!"

"Hard Target" uses its great locations to excellent effect, it's tight and efficient, and has some truly great action sequences!

Agreed, Hard Target is much more enjoyable movie. Lance Henriksen is a better actor than John Travolta and the cool Cajun vibe in Hard Target is better than the slick 1990s explosion fest of Face/Off.

Sure, Hard Target is cheesy as you like, but it's a classic pure action film.

They're too different films. Hard Target is a fun, no brainer actioner while Face/Off is a flashy, character driven thriller. I think Face/Off is a better made film but Hard Target has better action. The action in Hard Target felt more like Woo's earlier work while in Face/Off is was too flashy and felt too Westernised. They're both good films IMO, but for different reasons.
