A lot of action, very interesting plot and strong characters

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2016)

Face/off is definitely one of the most interesting films I have watched. The film is of course an Action Film, but it also managed to occupy the viewer's feelings and filled us with great agony about whether Sean Archer (John Travolta) will manage to get his life back from Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage). It is not only about shooting and fighting, there seems to be a lot of emotion and compassion here. The plot begins with an idea, that of Travolta using Castor Troy's face to penetrate his crew, which creates a lot of anguish about whether Travolta will be discovered. At the same time, we see his family and his past and we start to empathize with Sean Archer. Later, when Cage wakes from his coma, the plot gets really thrilling and empathizing, especially when Troy tries to approach Archer's family. Till the very last frame, the emotional part of the script is obvious. As for the leading actors, few can be said about Travolta and Cage of course. The way they play each other, the way they change their behavior, but also keep the original character's habits and manners, is unique.
The film is undoubtedly recommended.
