Fab action movie!

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2006)

I absolutely loved this film from start to finish. It has everything a really good action film needs; a fab storyline, great actors, a lot of things blowing up and a hell of a lot of action! Face/Off has everything. However, it isn't the easiest film to explain. If you've seen it, you'll understand what I mean. Castor Troy/Sean Archer Sean Archer/Castor Troy; it gets kinda confusing, but it's so good. I thought Nic Cage was tremendous in this, doing what he does best, and I thought John Travolta was fab too. This is the only film where I've ever cried at the beginning of a film, so brace yourselves for an upsetting moment if you get to see this, which you really should. It really is a first class action film from the legend that is John Woo, and I recommend it to everybody (who's 18+ of course, lol). It's just a genuinely good film, and try to ignore the obvious stuntmen in some of the scenes; you can't expect the insurance guys to cover everything, and I doubt Nic Cage and John Travolta would have wanted to do some of them! lol.
