Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2012)

John Woo's 1997 box-office blockbuster 'Face/Off' is an amazing entertainer, that easily ranks amongst the most memorable films from the late 1990's. Its a magnificently engaging, magically directed & superbly performed motion-picture.
'Face/Off' Synopsis: A revolutionary medical technique allows an undercover agent to take the physical appearance of a major criminal and infiltrate his organization.
'Face/Off' kept me engrossed from start to end. Its an amazing film, that entertains big time! The pacing is perfect & the execution is just top-notch.
Mike Werb & Michael Colleary's Screenlay is magnificently engaging & innovative. John Woo's Direction is magical. Cinematography & Editing are flawless. Action-Sequences are excellent.
Performance-Wise: Nicolas Cage steals the show with an outstanding performance. This performance is among Cage's finest works. John Travolta is a fabulously menacing bad-guy. Joan Allen is perfect, as always. Gina Gershon fits the part, while Alessandro Nivola, Dominique Swain & John Carroll Lynch are decent.
On the whole, 'Face/Off' is a massive winner.
