GET-your-ASS-to-MARS "Ooooh, ain't you good lookin'? You're hot!". Cage and Travolta bounce off each other in one of the best action flicks of the 90s. This is one third of the Nicholas Cage "holy trinity" collection (The Rock and Con Air being the other two). Great one liners, great action and an outrageous plot. Plus the token John Woo slow motions, stylish as usual. Love it!!

Tom John Woo is well known for his action films. Some are good, some aren't. Face/Off could have been among his best and also among one of the best action films ever made. But Woo insisted on one major drawback throughout the entire film. His ridiculous and continuous use of slow motion during virtually every single action scene, and there are probably dozens. If Woo had a scene where a bicycle flew off a cliff he'd have it explode. There's no such scene in this movie thank goodness, but I wouldn't put it past him. Explosions can be highly entertaining but only if they fit the scene. Blowing up everything in sight just because you can is lazy. Apparently the majority of reviewers here fell for Woo's lame tricks where instead of him saying watch my movie he's screaming look at me. Oh well, what can you expect in a world filled with sheep?

merelyaninnuendo Face/OffThe concept will take its time to let it sink in but before you do, you find yourself already enjoying these characters of John Woo which offers kick back to the movie and bursts it out of the door.

GeneralOfBerlin I have always loved action movies, but I hardly remember any that entertained me, thrilled me and kept me on the edge of the seat so much like this one. I tend to overrate movies, but it is for sure not the case here.I have first seen Face/Off with my father, I was like 14 or so. When we started watching it, I didn't know that two hours later I would finish one of the best films ever. Seriously: even the basic idea is so unusual, interesting and exciting that seldom does a movie has a potential like this one. And John Woo, his team, and of course the actors, especially the two major characters succeed on every level.The action scenes are very well-choreographed, colorful, brutal and quite realistic. Yes, there are a lot of bloody scenes, and I salute John Woo for daring to show all that is included in this film. Because it has a lot from everything that makes a movie great: so much action, so much emotion, so much pace, so much background.Is this one of the best movies ever made? Yes it is. Could it have been any better? Probably, but that wouldn't have been an easy job for sure. And I seriously don't understand those who are whining about it being unrealistic etc. It only shows that they do not even try to enjoy this masterpiece.10/10, enough said.
