Yes, that's it, but the movie totally ruins it. Stupid, stupid, stupid, way overdone fight scenes, like Crouching Dragon or the Matrix without the intent to seem exaggerated. Idiot director was going for the "ultimate" "most memorable ever" "killer, dude" type fight scene(complete with dueling speed boats), but instead it is just nouveau pretentious schtick that completely parodies itself. And once seen, ever time that music is heard you'll remember that schlock and just want to roll your eyes. I wanna slap the director between the eyes with a 2x4.

And the worst part was the girl I was with LOVED the movie. Instant total incompatability, uggh, what a waste of a wonderful auburn red.

John Woo wanted a much more cerebral ending for Face/Off where the viewer wouldn't know whether it was the good guy or bad guy that survived. It was the studio that forced the pap ending.
