This is the single, most brilliant action movie ever made!

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2004)

Quite seriously, some people really having a problem with suspending belief in these kinds of movies.
Of COURSE you can't swap peoples faces over and expect the bodies to accept the changes, and it's pretty obvious that you can't fool family members into thinking you are who you are. It is equally impossible to shoot a bullet-proof windscreen thirty times and have all the bullets bounce off without making a scratch. But that happens in ALL the Bond movies and no one EVER complains about that. And do you think it is possible to create a uranium-powered car with today's technology that can go back and forward through time when it hits eighty eight miles an hour? NO! But it happens in Back to the Future. But that is not AT ALL what the movie is about. It's about one thing and one thing only ACTION!
It contains some stunning special effects, outstanding acting, and some of the best action scenes EVER put onto the screen. John Woo is great as an action director, and that is what he did.
So if you are in half minds about this film, watch it, because it is an excellent action movie as long as you don't read into it. Don't listen to what ANYONE else says. It made billions in the box-office and did even better on video and DVD.
Face/Off is one of the greatest films ever made!!!
