Clint Eastwood plays an over-the-top fascist cop prepared to break all the rules in order to nail the "bad guys". Excellent entertainment, oft quoted by US politicians, and a warning to us liberals - keep the buggers under control.

FACE/OFF (1997)
Certification18 Our Rating
From Hong Kong's king of action, John Woo, comes a high-tech adventure which has maximum visual thrills and zero credibility, but is none the worse for it. Good guy John Travolta demonstrates his loyalty to the F.B.I in spectacular style by having the face of psycho killer Nicolas Cage transplanted on to his own, in order to save L.A from a huge Special Effect.

THE FUGITIVE (1993)
Certification15 Our Rating
A superb action packed thriller with Ford as the hounded Dr Kimble who, wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, escapes from a prison bus and tries to find out why she was killed and who the murderer really was. Jones is superb (Oscar winning!) as the laconic but obsessed Fed, following him like a bloodhound. The big stunts will take your breath away, and the breakneck pace never slackens.

Certification18 Our Rating
John Woo's 1989 Hong Kong action classic, a stylish bullet-riddled elegy to friendship under fire, firmly established him as the maestro of mayhem and brought him wide-spread recognition in the West.
