Awesome film

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2009)

I think the first time I came across Face/Off was when I was about 8 or 9 years old, and had walked in on my parents watching it. Of course at the time, I neither registered nor understood the film and it wasn't until about a year ago that a friend of mine recommended it to me saying it was "one of the greatest movies" she had ever watched. After watching it for the second time, I was completely hooked. I had never been much of a fan of action movies, but this film really stuck in my mind. The plot is captivating and the characters themselves are intriguing, and brilliantly played, especially by Nicolas Cage. I think this movie did him a lot of justice, considering he isn't one of the most liked actors around, to say the least (yet I can't seem to understand why). Unfortunately, not many people remember his role in Face/Off as it is quite old. I think the film was brilliantly produced, considering that it was made over 10 years ago, and will always be one of my favourites. I would definitely recommend this if you are interested in action films with a twist.
