Wonderful character development!
How sad is this?
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
John woo directs a film called face/off which star the academy award winner Nicolas Cage as a villain and John travolta as an FBI agent. The performances on the movie were great and the action in the movie was so awesome. The scences were awesome and this is John woo and Nicolas Cage best movie. This movie by far is the best action movie of the summer and it is a masterpiece. The critics and the audience will like it. I love this movie and it's my favourite action movie of 1997
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.
It is pretty interesting to think that two people who are no friends, but absolute foes to each others, would switch faces, it is a really promising concept. Now we see Cage and Travolta lead this movie, as the two foes, they delivered one hell of a suspenseful movie, with lots of twists and on-the-edge-of-the-seat moments. What a great classical that will never lose to time no matter how old.. 8.5/10
This movie simply shows why John Woo is the top action director of the last three decades, who reshapes the Hong Kong cinema and highly influences the American cinema. The action sequences are brilliant and well-choreographed as always. The plane chase in the first act, and the Mexican standoff and the speedboat chase in Act 4, are absolutely thrilling and astonishing. John Travolta and Nicholas Cage both give their career-best performances, in the sense that each of them has to play the role of the other actor and that they superbly make it.
