Definately not Face-Off. This is pure crap, take my word for it. One of the most implausible stories I've ever seen. Surely John Woo can do better than this, but after MI-2 I'm not so sure anymore.

The Matrix has great effects and can be enjoyable if you can get over the hard to swallow premise that Keanu Reeves has a great part to play in the fate of humanity. Lawrence Fishburne is excellent as usual.

Heat has some good action and actors, but does suffer from being too long and spends too much time with domestic situations rather than focusing on the crime story. If your a Pacino or De Niro fan you should like this film.

So, you have a Sci-Fi flik and a crime-action drama. If you have a preference for either of these genre then the choice is easy. The Matrix is shorter if time is an issue.

Happy viewing,
