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.
So two men who are of different builds and heights and accents/voices; supposedly get face transplants in a day and come back completely recovered with everything changed with no indication of surgery whatsoever. Why on earth would two acclaimed actors take on these roles with such an absurd concept. Were they short of cash or did they lose a bet In a word... stupid I turned it off halfway through. Just too ridiculous.
John woo directs a film called face/off which star the academy award winner Nicolas Cage as a villain and John travolta as an FBI agent. The performances on the movie were great and the action in the movie was so awesome. The scences were awesome and this is John woo and Nicolas Cage best movie. This movie by far is the best action movie of the summer and it is a masterpiece. The critics and the audience will like it. I love this movie and it's my favourite action movie of 1997
You would swear that the beginning of the film is really the end, but it is only the beginning!With villain Nicolas Cage comatose after shooting agent John Travolta's young son on a merry-go-round, the action really begins when Travolta goes through a face change to look like Cage so that he can infiltrate Cage's group to find out where the terrorist Cage has planted a bomb to go off in Los Angeles.Cage awakens and kills everyone associated with the surgery before he undergoes the same operation to look like Travolta.The film unwinds to show the ramifications of the surgery with Cage,as Travolta, going to the latter's wife, a physician, played by Joan Allen who is up to her ears in bewilderment as she senses something is terribly wrong. Cage, as Travolta, dislodges the bomb only to become a hero, but eventually fed up with taking orders from his superior, he kills the latter.The special effects are marvelous and there is plenty of excitement down to the last moment. A Hollywood ending if ever there were.
