Summary: Hot as Indian curry
Review: Pigeons flying as bullets scream forward,choirgirls getting pinched on the bottom, Cage cavorting in a trenchcoat, Travolta showing how to stab someone, the sheer incredible plot line which assumes that if you change a face everyone in the world will look the same , and then again pigeons flying about make this one helluva rollercoaster ride. John Woo made a hash of Mission Impossible II but here he is just too much....a Hong Kong film made Hollywood style.And what I liked most about the film was that the message of forgiveness and starting anew which is given at the end of the film..it manages to lift a cool slugfest to something quite special..

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: I HATE IT WHEN YOU CALL ME BRO!
Review: I first saw this movie in the theatre,and I loved it,it is a great film!

the film really starts to pick up after archer becomes troy and
troy becomes archer.

one of my other favorite characters (besides cage)was
alessandro nivola,who played pollox troy.
he was a cool bad guy.
...

nivola was also in jurassic park 3,you think that he gets killed
but he doesn't!

I just had to buy this movie,so now I can watch it whenever I can!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: good plot
Review: the plot for this movie considering what it was might have faltered but Cage and Travolta's performance work nicely to fit the sequences. John Woo at his best in this film. Plenty of bullets fly!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Action With Brains
Review: There hasn't been a good action film since this one came out in the summer of 1997. This one was so good and action packed in a brilliant way, that there was nowhere else to go but down. One awful action flick after the other. This film, directed by the brilliant John Woo, has something that few action films have. It has intelligence. Those don't come along too often. John Travolta stars as an FBI agent who's son was killed a few years ago by Castor Troy(played very wickedly by Nicolas Cage). Travolta finally captures Cage and is sent to prison. Travolta then has Cage's face graphed onto his to fool Cage's brother into revealing some information. Well, Cage gets wind of this and soon he escapes with Travolta's face. Still with me?. All of a sudden, our two stars are playing the other. Got it?. The two actors are wonderfully over the top. Their performances are big and flashy and fun. Neither one has ever been more interesting to watch. Then, there's the action. I have never seen action scenes like this before. They are bigger than life. John Woo is a brilliant man. The scenes come off almost like a well choreographed ballet. Their absolutely intoxicating. And, might I add, beautiful, in a very twisted way. It's a non stop crowd pleasing film. Joan Allen co-stars as Travolta's wife. "Lolita" star Dominique Swain portrays Travolta's punkish, angst ridden teen daughter. "Face Off" is a great ride that hasn't been topped yet. Find out why.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: John Wooooo
Review: John woo is an action cinematographer par excellence. Be it his slow motion double fisted gun shot scenes, or the breath taking stunts and action choreography, you have it all here. Couple this with absolutely classy acting from the GOD of style John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, you have FACE-OFF. The action is just perfect and simmers in with the drama unfolding along side. The core concept of the movie of swapping faces might sound absurd, but the rest is art of action cinematography.

A must see for all action and John Woo fans.

The DVD is not packed with anything extra, it just has subtitles and Audio modes. I wish they had put in some extra behind the scene stuff would have been great.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great action flick, but where are the extras?
Review: Smart flick about a cop (Travolta) who switches identities with a criminal (Cage). In the hands of a lesser director, this film would have been a disaster, but director John Woo pulls it off quite well. My only complaint is the virtual lack of features on this DVD. All we get is a trailer! Paramount should seriously consider revisiting this film with a deluxe package containing at least a commentary and a featurette.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Horny Nicholas Cage
Review: This film had plenty of action but Nicholas Cage just had to ruin it by feeling a bunch of chicks.Not to say that I'm against people getting giggy on the screen but his nonstop horniness has ruined every film.
