Summary: What a disappointment!
Review: This DVD is such a disappointment! Don't get me wrong, the movie is fabulous, but where in the world are the special features? There's absolutely nothing! Let's face it, a DVD with a whole lot of bonuses is way better than with the movie alone, isn't it?

Summary: Off and Running
Review: In John Woo's orgy of action Face/Off, mega-men of the moment John Travolta and Nicolas Cage get to play with each other's mind and mugs. It's a big enough thrill to see these two dead-on dynamos mixing it up on the big screen, but the kicker is they get to play each other--two Vegas impressionists in a lethal game of cat and mouse. And those demanding blood and guts know that Woo rarely disappoints. Though the climax is too long in coming, the stars make this picture. And if you're keeping score, Travolta does an awfully good Cage, wide-eyed and slow of voice. His performance alone makes Face/Off a fanciful, edgy thriller.

Summary: I could eat a peach for hours
Review: This is the kind of role meant for John Travolta, not the kind he plays in moves such as civil action.Cage and Travolta both give in my opinion the finest performances of their careers.Full of intense action,superb acting,surprise twists, and damn fully one-liners, this is one movie well worth watching. Well worth buying as the replay value is high.

Summary: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Review: How could you not like this film? Nic and John have studied each other character to the finest detail. It is pure talent even if you find the plot slightly unbleaveable you will just love the action, the dialog and the acting. This is my film of the century.

Summary: pure comedy
Review: This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. The plot is absurd and to be honest you have to be of a very young age to gain any enjoyment from this film or just very very bored or drunk. The only remotely good thing that comes from this film is a decent performance from Cage. If you really must, rent it but DO NOT buy it...

Summary: All Time Action
Review: Well what can you say, this film is action, action, action all the way. There is never a dull moment the whole film is packed with twists and the way that cage and travolta play the counterpart is awesome.A truly great film and a must for a Cage/Travolta/Woo fanatic. Go on buy it you want regret it thats for sure

Summary: A masterpiece
Review: Face/Off is a spectacular film. It is a definite classic in terms of modern action films. Face/Off, like many action films, has enough explosive action scenes to leave you on the edge of your seat. However, unlike most action films, Face/Off's brilliance is found in its story,its direction, and its acting, not in its action sequences. With superb acting by two very talented actors, Nicholas Cage and John Travolta, the viewer is caught up in the story rather than the action, it almost deserves the category of "action drama." Although, being a John Woo movie, the action sequences are nothing short of spectacular. Face/Off, a combination of great acting, a great story, and well-choreographed action, is a must see for any action lover.

Summary: Kitschy, a bit too long AND SO ENJOYABLE!
Review: I saw it for the first time at the theater and it were 2+ hours well spent. First impression was rather ironical - who can take seriously all these slows with crucifix and white doves flapping their wings amidst the whizzing bullets? Now I have the DVD and watch it from time to time with my friends. Guess what? I cry every time Travolta brings home Castor's orphan. It's surprising. The reason for this is that the magic of cineme lives in this overindulgent and overlong movie. It's silly to analyze the plot and and test it against the patterns of real life. Any story of swithed identities is hardly credible.Do you really believe the boy in The Prince And The Pauper could pass for the noble heir to the British throne? If you want to see this movie just RELAX and ENJOY! It's not stupid but naive or successfully passes for naive. Nicholas Cage is an actor of a VERY limited range but as a cartoon villain he is perfectly cast. A lot of scenes and objects are delightfully bad taste - just look at these eleborately embroidered gold-plated twin guns. It's a movie of a kind you can see in Bombay or Hong Kong but the power of Western moviemaking boosts it into the international stardom. I am rather cynical viewer and usually see through the hype but this time it's just an endless WOW! The people who consider Face/Off pretentious should see The Matrix which gives the new dimension to this word. I am sure that Face/Off's perfect blend of Oriental sentimentalism and Western technical genius was made possible by the stroke of luck. Take the other Woo's Hollywood efforts - Hard Target, Broken Arrow, Blackjack - BAD,BAD,BAD... So have a good sense to enjoy what this movie has to offer - and do not dig too deep.

Summary: Entertainment at it's best
Review: What more could you ask from a movie than to star Nicolas Cage, John Travolta and be directed by John Woo?. This movie will not dissapoint, The original idea for the script, plus the brilliant gun fights make this movie a must have. The performances are brilliant, particularly the two leads. If you love action movies there are four movies you should own, Face/off and the Die Hard trilogy. This is a must have.

Summary: Bad Acting, great action scenes.
Review: John Travolta plays someone who he isnt in this movie, and frankly I dont know if he knew who he was supposed to act like. In my opinion, ive seen Travolta act in many movies quite well, but both John Travolta and Nicholas Cage put on the most terrible attempts at acting like the person they are trying to imitate. In short Travolta looked stupid trying to act like Nicholas Cage and vice versa. However, I loved the action scenes in the movie. If your a critic about acting style and replay value than stray away from here. If your an action junkie, this film will blow your socks off. Ive never seen so many guns going off at the same time since Predator. That made it worth it, though I was fast forwarding through the rest of the dialogue.
