"Wheeeeee!! HA HA!! What a predicament!!"

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 1999)

Just how far would you go to kill your worst enemy? That's the question FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) ponders about nailing the sleazebag terrorist Castor Troy (Nicholas Cage) who shot his son with a hard-powered rifle. So, our hero literally puts on his foe's face and surgically implants it on his own!! That is what makes this a good action thriller: good, raw action with an intriguing motive!
Travolta and Cage make an unbeatable force in this flick, directed by action wizard John Woo, who makes dodging bullets look like a Barishnikov ballet! The character development is great, too, with Cage and Travolta switching sides and complexions. Though a bit bloody, "Face/Off" is a thinking man's movie, not just some two-bit rag with nothing but guns and ammo!
