Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
brittanydiane I love how the last 30 minutes of the movie is just straight explosions. All in all though the movie was pretty good though. It was well thought out except a few plot holes. Overall I'd recommend giving it a chance.
TheNameBrand Honestly the first hour is hilarious, but then it gets old. The entire thing is a ridiculous 2hr 15min ride. There's better Nic Cage movies out there, but this is perhaps the most unique of every one. At LEAST watch the first 45 minutes where Nic's performance is undeniably stupidly good and stupidly extreme. A nice watch with friends that can make fun of movies, that's for sure.
Overall, awful but good
Tom John Woo is well known for his action films. Some are good, some aren't. Face/Off could have been among his best and also among one of the best action films ever made. But Woo insisted on one major drawback throughout the entire film. His ridiculous and continuous use of slow motion during virtually every single action scene, and there are probably dozens.
If Woo had a scene where a bicycle flew off a cliff he'd have it explode. There's no such scene in this movie thank goodness, but I wouldn't put it past him. Explosions can be highly entertaining but only if they fit the scene. Blowing up everything in sight just because you can is lazy. Apparently the majority of reviewers here fell for Woo's lame tricks where instead of him saying watch my movie he's screaming look at me. Oh well, what can you expect in a world filled with sheep?
bradleygranz Face off is action movie with john travolta and nicolas cage this movie is awesome
