Summary: Best John Woo American Film
Review: I seen this movie in the theatres and since it came out on DVD and wanted to own some of John Woo's work I was not hesitant in buying a copy of this film since well... his other films are from Hong Kong and Mission Impossible 2 made me fall asleep half way through the film. So I bought this in consideration that this is his best film of his American arrival since it's action packed and since Die Hard no other action movie besides in the War genre has a movie with so much action give you a great amount of atmosphere to see interactions from north ,south, east and west of exploding cars and people getting swiss cheesed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Stuff!
Review: This is my Top dvd in my entire collection. I have to admit it, even after Wolfgang Peterson's 'Air Force One that came out in the same year! This is still, the best! Nicholas Cage and John Travolta give a triumphing performance. Absolutely Amazing, I meant fit for these roles!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best actions film out from Hollywood
Review: This movie is fabulous and bears repeated viewings. It showcases what John Woo is capable of. Travolta and Cage has never been better. Joan Allen was a delight. It's action-packed and has a story that you won't forget for years. In this film, you have to identify with the characters more than you identify with the actors, an incredible change. It works!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Strange idea, but well done...
Review: This movie is based on a very strange idea, that doesn't seem all that possible, but the writers and actors have showed their skill once again. To watch Travolta and Cage strut their stuff as the pretend to be each other only deepens your admiration of them. They are extremely talanted and to anyone who may not think so, just watch this film. You will not be dissapointed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You Want Action?
Review: If you want action, this is a great movie for your collection. The two starring roles are acted to perfection. John Travolta and Nick Cage are exceptional in switching mind-sets of their characters. You believe totally each character as they are enlisted under both Good and Evil throughout the film. This movie bases itself on psycological warfare, but backs it up with plenty of physical action. This film is an all-around good action movie. That's why I gave it four stars and it is sitting on my shelves.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Adventure, revenge and happy end!
Review: This is an unusual movie among the same kind of ones. The plot is different and breathtaking. You can not move anywhere throughout the movie. Take it and enjoy the adventure!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sweet
Review: First just ignore anyone who disses this movie, because they don't know the facts, end of story. The concept for this movie is pretty original I must say, and the actors do an extremely good job of executing that concept. I might also add that the gun fights in this movie are exceptional, true they are not as good as the ones in The Matrix, but then again what is? Buy this movie when you have the money to do so, or at least rent it. But whatever you do don't listen to any idiot that says this movie is lame.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: I have just recently seen Face/Off on tv. I can't tell you how great I thought it was. Everything about the movie was unbelieveable and the action was awesome. John Woo is the best director there is. Lets face it, though, no one goes to see a John Woo movie for the fantastic plot or wholesome banter. You go to see the best gunfights and combat money can buy. Although this movie did have some intriguing melodrama, where Travolta gets with Cage's wife. This is my current favorite movie, and it probably would be one of your favorites, too. Defintely buy this movie. Just do it. It'll make you more attractive to women. Trust Me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Face Off DVD
Review: The DVD of FACE OFF is one of the best, and a must-buy on the format. John Woo, uber director of The Killer (1989), Hard Boiled (1992) and Broken Arrow (1996) proves that even after the move to Hollywood, he still knows how to create fantastic action and Face Off is no exception. Building on the good but not great BROKEN ARROW, this one is a fantastic action ride. The film stars Nicholas Cage as Castor Troy, a villain, and John Travolta as agent Sean Archer, the only man who can stop Castor from unleashing a nuclear device.
Woo's trademarks are all present here: slow-mo gunfights, explosive action and those perennial doves. And both Nic Cage and Travolta are brilliant, especially Cage, whose eccentric performance is one of his most unrestrained and outstanding. One of the best (If not THE best) action films ever made. Excellent.
The DVD extras are sparse, with only a trailer. One hopes a future re-release will come soon...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great action film !!!!!
Review: A fast-paced, rollercoaster ride of a movie. Superb action sequences directed by John Woo, the master of the action scene. Once you suspend disbelief of people's faces being physically switched the movie absolutely draws you in.

What makes this film much, much better than the average action film is the emotional current running through it (I dare anybody not to get misty eyed at the end of the film). A smart, well thought out, and touching action film. You will not be disappointed.
