Faces off well.

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2013)

This is a decent film, if you are able to look past the very poor sequence in the medical centre, where the face transplants supposedly take place, and the laughable scene where the surgeon 'calibrates' Archer's voice using an implanted microchip (how is this meant to work exactly?), to make it resemble Troy's. The film reminds me a lot of "The Hot Chick", where effectively the characters have switched bodies, and this leads to interesting complications. Although unlike The Hot Chick, in Face/Off the characters are both male. The way in which each man acts to try and fit the other's personality is sometimes comical, especially the scene where Archer is carousing with Troy's cohorts and has a difficult time impersonating the other man. The contrasting lifestyles of the two men make an interesting play on their attempts to mould themselves to the other's identity.
