violent and dull

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2005)

'Face/Off' is a film about a secret agent who has had his face swapped with another man's: a terrorist/criminal. Now, based on that information, you pretty much know what is going to happen in the film. The only thing that this movie has going for it is violence and an attempt to come up with a new idea. I will admit, the idea of swapping identies is kind of cool. However, this film does not get anymore original than that. It is all about the violence and people getting killed and things blowing up and major showdowns between characters. That's really all there is to it. If you're of the male gender, then you may go for this sort of film. If you prefer films that make you think, then I suggest looking elsewhere because there is little to be gained in this film.
