Wow! That saying means alot coming from me. Travolta makes an excellent bad guy and so does Cage! Best thriller/drama/action movie ever. The visuals were shockingly good as when Castor Troy (Cage) and Shaun Archer (Travolta) had plastic surgery it looked... Full review

Nicolas Cage was the perfect sadistic bad guy to the end whose approach to everything was "criminal". John Travolta the tormented father over the death of his son and broken family. The movie is action packed and pit stops in sarcastic... Full review

chasing planes, mapping faces onto other heads, a determined detective, a crazed terrorist, and a thrilling boat chase make for one hell of a twisted action movie, cage was great as troy, and travolta play awesome as archer, everything was great... Full review

I am usually skeptical about action. Some are good action scenes, with bad acting, or the other way around. But this is one that has it all. The acting is great, the action is great, the story line is fake, but... Full review

It's nowhere near as good as Woo's films back in Hong Kong (The Killer will be forever and always an action classic) but Face/Off is a good film that fans will be able to see where some scenes in this film... Full review

I have loved the story since I was about 10 or 12.
Especially with action sequences, I didn't want to use any kung-fu or martial arts elements ...
I think it's a war movie, and war is not fun.

There's a greater role for independents now.
Perhaps best known in the West for hits like "Face/Off" (1997), and in the East as the auteur behind timeless Hong Kong action classics such as "The Killer" (1989), Woo will again be in the spotlight in China in 2009.

The action sequences have been perfectly choreographed like a ballet, each step a wonder to behold, visually expressive and exciting to watch.
OK, so the plot is absurd, and reality never sets in here, but leave all that behind, and with John Woo back in top form, you have an action film with more depth and sense of character, than any other film in the genre of recent memory.

then it's to the picture's credit that Face/Off plays out much better on film than it does in print
In fact, everything about Face/Off feels epic.
Despite that, there's a few flaws that prevent Face/Off from really taking off.
