Summary: Lots of action!
Review: I'd say one of the best things in this movie is that we can se both Cage & Travolta as a good guy and bad guy. They show how good actors they are! If you like action movies, this one is the one to see! If fact, some people I know were even tired to see the shooting at each other, but (hey!) it's John Woo isn't it???
Worth to buy if you like pure action movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS FILM DESERVES 6 STARS
Review: WHAT CAN I SAY?THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE FILM.JUST TO SAY THAT I AM IN NO WAY AN ACTION FILM FAN,IN FACT I HATE THEM,IT WAS BY CHANCE THAT I SAW THIS,AND BOY AM I REALLY GLAD.
A STORY ABOUT A COP(PLAYED BY JOHN TRAVOLTA)AND A CRIMINAL(PLAYED BY NICOLAS CAGE)WHO HAVE A HISTORY....THE CROOK KILLED THE COPS SON.WELL JOHN TRAVOLTA WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GET THIS MAN.....HE WILL EVEN CHANGE FACES TO GET HIM.WHAT HE DIDNT EXPECT WAS NICOLAS CAGE TO WEAR HIS FACE.A EXCELLANT ACTION WITH A LOT OF TWISTS AND TURNS,ACTION AND SENTIMENT,GASPS AND CRIES.
THE ACTING IN THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.NOT JUST FOR AN ACTION BUT FOR ANY FILM.NICOLAS CAGE AND JOHN TRAVOLTA PULL OFF AN EXTRAORDINARY FEAT OF MAKING YOU BELIVE THEY ARE IN FACT EACH OTHER.BUY IT,IT IS A CRIME NOT TO HAVE THIS IN YOUR VIDEO COLLECTION!

Summary: A Face-Off Between GOOD & EVIL
Review: Most people who watched this film at the theater wanted to see "if the rumors were true". Mark Wahlberg portrays a porno film director's "dream discovery", who is turned into an over night sensation. Soon he becomes "too big for his pants" and gets tossed back into the streets, where he dicovers that "life without his mentor director is pretty bad". A side plot deals with a female porn star's custody battle for her child, which she loses to her ex-husband on account of her doobious occupation. Another one, known as "Roller Girl" is recognized by a former class mate and just about flips out from shame! -- There are some serious issues discussed here, but the bottom line is that it's a sleezy film. If you want porno, get the real thing and don't waste your time with this "peep show".

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: NOT TITO
Review: My favorite scene in this whole very bad movie was when all of John Travoltas cop buddies were killed and all he says is "Not Tito?" Who was Tito anyway? If for some strange reason that make a Face Off 2, I do beleive they should call it "Not Tito 2".

The other big thing that annoyed me about this film, was how John Travoltas family touched each others faces. At first I would imagine it would be sweet, but after a while I would just have to say "Stop Touching my face".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: John Woo is Awsome
Review: John Woo is an awsome director and the movie is also really cool. Both Cage and Travolta are awsome actors in this film in fact you will most likely get confunsed on whos who becuase they act so well like each other.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Movie, fires on all cylinders.
Review: FACE/OFF was one of the best movies I have seen. John Woo wows me again in a movie with explosive action, great acting and an incredible plot. FBI Agent Sean Archer (Travolta) undergoes surgery to look exactly like Castor Troy (Cage). What he doesnt expect is that Troy waked up from surgery and forces doctors to make him look like Archer. After that all hell breaks loose. Great movie with tons of action and excellent acting, this one will not bore nor dissapoint. SEE IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Real Kick Flick
Review: John Woo astonishes with his camera movements and balletic action sequences. "Face/Off" is the action movie that everybody should see because of its spectacular action, as well as the tremendous performances by John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.

Travolta plays FBI agent Sean Archer, who wants to have revenge over the death of his little boy, killed by terrorist Castor Troy (Cage). But the real deal about their perfomances occurs when Archer decides to switch faces with Troy's in order to avoid the explosion of a bomb at the L.A. Convention Center. It's fantastic how the two actors perform one another -Travolta playing Cage, Cage playing Travolta. I mean those actors should have been nominated for some awards.

The confrontation between those two characters makes this John Woo film a real kick. Don't miss it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this film
Review: This film is totally excellent! I may be a girl but I think the action and special effects are great! NICOLAS CAGE is good in anything but this is probably my favourite of his films. He plays a bad guy to start (Castor Troy) and then a good guy as Sean Archer trapped behind Castors face. JOHN TRAVOLTA is really convincing as the 'bad guy' (Castor in Sean's body). He should definately do more villain roles. This film isn't really for young kids, hence the rating, but behind the violence of a typical action movie there is a gr8, if extreme, storyline that definately deserves a look.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action Packed fun
Review: I enjoyed the premise of this movie though you must check your disbelief at the door. I enjoyed watching the Cage and Travolta take on different personas, particularly Cage. You could feel his internal struggle. Not for the squeamish.
