Rating: Summary: outstanding Review: I am a huge Cage fan, and having Travolta in the movie is an excellent plus. The best part of this movie is that you get to see Cage and Travolta both portray the bad, and the good guy, which they both excel at. Excellent piece of moviemaking.
Rating: Summary: Sleep-maker Review: I spent money to watch this movie and I am very sorry about it. This is one movie that will improve with censorship and scene cutting to fit in ad breaks on TV - and yes, that does mean it is a very bad movie. There were some things that were ok or interesting but these were few and far between. Television people, I recommend at least 3 ad breaks in long boat chase to maintain interest. A friend of mine hired this movie to watch with friends. At the end they all woke up, and I think that is a really fitting comment on how good this movie is. Lastly, I just have to bag that "singing in the rain" scene - one of the most truly awful, misguided attempts to create emotion I have ever seen in a movie. My mouth dropped open in amazement for the only time during the whole boring show - I was amazed that anyone could do anything that awful and then leave it in a movie for other people to suffer. WARNING: If you enjoy any form of complex mental activity do not watch Face Off.
Rating: Summary: Greatest action movie of the 90's! Review: This is without a doubt the best action movie I have ever seen, filled with outrageous plots and death-defying action, it is difficult to watch this movie over and over because it is so much of a thrill-ride! I love it!

Rating: Summary: This movie ruled with minor flaws Review: For those of you who like bangin shooting scenes this is your movie. However the action is not non-stop which disappointed me. There is a lot of focus on the unbelievable plot but the action scenes make up for it.
Rating: Summary: shoot em up again Review: nicolas cage does an amazing job with his characters--john travolta is also very good, if you can get past the cheeziness of sean archer's hand-to-face gestures. John Woo has created some very sharp action scenes (much better than in 'the replacement killers' or 'once a thief'). A thoroughly enjoyable movie and a must-see for cage/woo fans.
Rating: Summary: O.k Review: Not bad but John Woo has done better. It is really spaced out beetween action scenes.Just rent it.
Rating: Summary: RIDICULOUs "ACTION" MOVIE Review: This director John Woo is viewed as the "master of action movies". He is the master of empty movies, and I wonder what is going through the minds of Cage and Travolta, two great actors, in accepting doing an outrageous script like this, always with slow-motion death sequences. Bá!
Rating: Summary: Explosive action Review: This movie was one of the best action movies I have ever seen. There were numerous shootouts that caught my eye. I really liked the one in the apartment and in the airport. Nicolas Cage is a very good action actor. Same with Travolta. They both make good archrivals
Rating: Summary: Almost as bad as The Jackal! Review: The Jackal with Gere and Willis was the worst picture I have ever seen. If you liked The Jackal you will like Face/Off. Lots of action, dumb dialog, stupid plot...just plain boring.
