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

I like Hard Target. but personally i prefer Face/Off over Hard Target.

Despite the fact they are both John Woo action films, they are different sub-types of the action genre. Rather than saying it's like comparing apples and oranges, it's more like comparing granny smith apples to red delicious apples. Similar, but not the same thing.

Face Off makes more of an attempt to give the characters emotional depth as well as action. Hard Target is stylish action with some characterization. Given a choice, I do enjoy Hard Target more. By far the most enjoyable Van Damme film, and Henriksen and Vosloo make for great bad guys. And of course it's hard (though not impossible) to go wrong with John Woo doing action.

Apples and oranges; Hard Target is a better mindless action movie, but I still love watching Cage and Travolta playing each other, even if the action in Face/Off isn't as good and it goes on forever.

Can we all agree that they're both much better than Broken Arrow?

I have always preferred hard target over face off, its just overall the more fun movie to watch, face off seems as if it is trying too hard to be a drama at the same time as an action blockbuster directed by a man who likes to make heavy use of people flying around spinning in the air holding and firing weapons out of both hands and the chow yun fat. also Arnold volojulu plays one cold badass motherf09ker in this, him and Hendrickson paired off nicely. the action scenes were fun to watch, the plot was cool and didn't try to be something it wasn't. face off is still a cool movie, but Nicolas cage needs to stop spending all his money on castles.

John Woo is not Sergio Leone, he's a Woo

I prefer Face/Off because I liked Travolta and Cage in this and I don't care much for them usually. I also enjoyed the action sequences and the dialogue/situations more.
Hard Target felt a bit bland, but the final shootout was fun to watch. That's really the only thing that stood out for me.

Welcome to the middle of nowhere--the center of everywhere.

um NO. not even close,, I like Van Damme but Face/Off was way better.
are you going to bark all day little doggie,, or are you going to bite

way better than face off for sure. the action sequences in this are creatively executed and van damme is a monster.
