I've always been a firm believer that if a film is big enough and stupid enough, it can somehow loop back around to legitimacy and quality. Even if I don't totally understand what's trying to happen here, I have a lot of respect for it. John Woo somehow convinced an American movie audience to sit through 2 and a half hours of Hollywood's best hams screaming at each other through a torrent of sparks, blood, and ass groping. What a beautiful tale of international cultural exchange.

Delirious, over-the-top camp masterpiece stuffed to the brim with hilarious performances (Cage-as-Travolta-as-Cage and vice-versa, Nick Cassavetes, fucking Hyde from That 70s Show, etc.) and of course Woo's trademark balletic gunfighting. One of my goals in life is to live in a house as cool as Cassavetes' character does.

Holy shit this movie is insane! Travolta and Cage going totally all out on performances, across from each other is totally epic. Direction by John Woo drenches the whole movie in so much style and epicness that it all simply works. "I'll take his face -pause- off. Face. Off" The face touching is the icing on the cake lmaooo

Face/Off is one of the most ridiculous and enjoyable action films of the 90's and it's my favourite of John Woo's Hollywood films. Although the concept is completely ludicrous and nonsensical, its all undeniable and hilarious fun. Two incredibly eccentric performances from Travolta & Cage certainly make this film memorable. The hoard of set pieces are as equally enjoyable also. And the standard of action is trademark John Woo. One of the most ridiculous but rewatchable action films ever made.

Nic Cage is just incredible, one of his best and most hilarious performances. The first 20 minutes are amazing but sadly the film has to take a breather to explain the ludicrous plot. But it's so absurd that I loved it and they don't even pretend to think this is a serious movie which is great. A few slow parts drag it down a bit but the action is really well done and man Nic Cage i cannot get enough. Also, that jail was amazing.

Classic 90s blockbuster entertainment, albeit filtered through the Woo nonsense lens but for once to actual success. On his first Western studio outing he made something exciting and coherent (even such as it is, filled with 90s excess and oddities at every turn). For me Woo never really achieved the same again. Wild to remember that at the time we were more or less unprepared for an iconic madcap schizophrenic Cage performance that would become his staple on and off for the rest of his career.

So stupid, so hilarious, and probably the first and only time Woo's theatricality of action is overshadowed by the theatricality of performance. The fast cuts of Hollywood action pale in comparison to Woo's more visceral, long-take aesthetic of his HK years, but the speedboat sequence is outstanding and vintage John Woo set piece wizardry.

Travolta + Cage + Woo = maximum overdrive. The collaboration between these gonzo talents was an exercise in inspired insanity, and Travolta and Cage are pushing each other to absurd extremes, like they're in direct competition for who can be the craziest. The sentimental touches don't work as well as they do in Woo's best HK films, where action and melodrama are melded more seamlessly, but there are some great set pieces and a go-for-broke intensity that is unmatched in 90's US action films.

Finally, a movie that knows exactly what it is. Face/Off works because it doesn't try to be anything it's not and plays to its strengths at every turn. Hackneyed plot? Check. Dumb, over the top characters? Check. Ridiculously-stylized-to-the-point-of-self-parody action? Check. The only real problem I have is how much better Nick Cage is than John Travolta at playing both parts.

John Woo, the prolific action director, gets his chance at full control of a studio movie with Face/Off. It does NOT disappoint. Travolta and Cage delivers astounding performances playing each other. The action is to a high Woo-Like standard. Even the drama at the center of it all is poignant and worthwhile.

20 years later, Face/Off is a hilariously stupid movie. The over-the-top action, overacting, preposterous dialogue, occasionally silly camera, and plot are all face-removingly stupid, and everything occurs at a rapid-fire pace with little time for build-up. Everything about the movie is so ridiculous and cliche now that I was frequently falling out of my chair laughing, in tears. And there's certainly more stupidity I missed while I was busy laughing. I MUST watch this movie again.

I was genuinely tossing up between giving this the highest and the lowest possible score. It is simultaneously an insane, logic-defying masterpiece of ludicrous trash nonsense and a fascinatingly intense, gripping cinematic analysis of identity featuring two performances with no regard for the behaviour of real humans that both somehow make perfect sense. Not for one second does this movie make any sense, and yet the whole thing makes perfect sense. It's horrible, and beautiful.

One of the most literal titles in movie history, Face/Off is about a cop and a criminal that swap faces with each other. This John Woo film has everything you expect: Two guns at a time, slow motion action, every bullet produces sparks/fireworks and doves! This film has some of the best scenes with Nicolas Cage, his facial expressions and weird acting choices are unforgettable...

It's like looking in a mirror, only not. Hey Sean, how's your dead son? The man you think is your husband isn't. This nose. This hair. This ridiculous chin.

One of the most interesting films in Woo's filmography, an American action film which pushes both the level of ridiculousness and its visceral nature to the furthest. Its premise, while absurd, also opens up a new level of twisted and fascinating takes on genre conventions, making it still unique. The French filmmaker Jacques Rivette was disgusted by the film, and its easy to see why, but it is a film that is able to combine a nastier edge with ludicrous action to create a compelling movie.

The worst part of this movie was trying to explain plot points to my roommate after he walked in halfway through. It's incredibly stupid, longer than it needs to be, and Travolta and Cage overact 90% of the time but I must admit I enjoyed most of it. It's so cheesy, that it's often fun and I do like Cage more than the normal person. John Woo's action sequences being enjoyable also helps it's watchability.

A classic action flick from the golden age of Nicolas Cage. This, Con Air and the Rock are the best showcases of what Cage is truly capable of when he ditches the indy-looking drama crap and makes proper blockbusters. The plot is awesome, the acting is excellent and the action is sheer unmitigated spectacle of intensity rarely seen in cinema history. It's sad to see Nicolas Cage making dramas like the Weather Man and Raising Arizona when he is so obviously a natural born action superstar.

John Travolta plays the same character he did in Broken Arrow, only this time he's not as cool or entertaining as before. Nicolas Cage isn't a great actor but he doesn't really have any drawbacks so no real plus or minus from him. Sadly the plot isn't very entertaining and the action isn't anything special either.

In the campiest way possible, this is kind of fun. Obviously, if you are expecting a more nuanced thriller, look elsewhere. There is zero subtlety in Face/Off, starting with the title. But the film features some great action set pieces and Travolta and Cage have a lot of fun hamming it up, as well as playing each other. One of the biggest sins of a bad action movie often is that it's boring, which Face/Off never is.

any movie wherein john travolta is perving on a teenage girl to the tune of "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" can die to me, personally. I would have had more fun with this movie without that scene. They didn't try to make him look gross about it either because there were shots of her butt in underwear and stuff. I hope we are past the point of pedophilia in movies now. Depiction does not equal condonement (I think that's a word), but filmmakers have to be Responsible about it. I'm sick of it.

nicolas cage'in müzesi yapılmalı. belki henüz böyle bir kabul yok ama şaka maka brando'dan sonra popüler sinemada oyunculuk tekniği açısından en büyük atılımı yapan insan. travolta'yı cage taklidinde izlemek zorunda kalmasak şurda mesela filmin değeri ekstra yükselirdi. hep woo gibi yönetmenlerle çalışmış olsa her şey bambaşka olurdu belki de kariyer seyri açısından.

This movie is as dumb as it sounds but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. The climax is overely long and the pacing is off, but the acting is phenomenal and the film is just dumb fun.

This movie as a comedy is kind of ok. It grants you a good laugh or two. Nick cage is really funny. But, seriously, this movie is as terrible as it gets. It is the dumbest plot ever - the people would need to be really stupid to agree to do the things they do on the movie.

Action classic! Cage and Travolta on form. Crazy plot but works. Face Off! Bonkers but so much fun.

BACK-FILLING A WHOLE JOB-LOT OF FILMS I'VE SEEN BUT NOT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME So, my recollection/scoring may be 20-30% off point. I would be not at all offended, grateful in fact, if anyone wants to drop me a cordial note if they think memory has dulled a gem or given a rosy tint to a bit of a clunker. IE. Tell me why I am wrong and what U think I should've scored it. I love film chat/debate. VERY silly fun but what balls to the wall, all the way out the there, stylish, great, crazy fun

"Face/Off" is preposterous but hopefully doesn't take itself too seriously. The script is kinda sketchy, yet the action makes up for it, as does the way that the lines between the two main characters and their lives become increasingly blurry as the film progresses. John Travolta and Nicolas Cage have some great moments and some mediocre ones as well, similarly to director John Woo, who at times displays an exciting sense for aesthetics in his action and at times just feels a little expendable.

Great movie with an epic feel to it. The fight good vs evil carries the viewer along. Both main characters are well made - I think it's Cage's best performance.

Over the top in every conceivable way, and that's what's so good about it.

Astonishingly, hilariously bad. It's amazing the number of ways in which this fails, in terms of acting, directing, writing, cinematography, effects, sound design... It's so gleeful and colorful that it's hard not to enjoy, though there are some really creepy parts and a few genuinely unpleasant bits. Still, recommended for bad movie nights. (I can't believe this got 92% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Is it the allure of Woo? Because there are SO MANY weird directoral decisions here. I dun get it.)

I don't like action-based movies but Face-Off is a huge exception. I like the way Travolta acts despite Cage. It is a good example for action movies.
