Brian F @FedUpDVDCollector Dec 25 The opening scene had me hooked then Travolta’s acting was starting to lose me. Then when he was presented with the “face off” concept, he laughed it off the same way I did. In the words of McLovin, you don’t have the technology or the steady hand to pull off a procedure like that! You really have to suspend disbelief for this plot. (I’m trying my best) The freak out post-op was pure comedy. I didn’t expect so many laughs in this one. The guards letting him beat a guy half to death. Then Cage wakes up… he is uncaged in this oh my goodness. Now Travolta is playing Cage and it’s more comedy. Cut to the wife’s pancake booty. Ope he just made a move on his (step?) daughter. Yikes. Later on Danny Masterson attempts to SA her. Someone in casting must have known about him. The shootout at Castor’s house is insane with the kid he didn’t know about. Now trying to convince the wife he was really her husband… man this is batshit crazy. The shootout at the church…. Man I can’t believe I watched this whole thing.

And I also think it has a great plot and revenge story. Nicholas Cage did so good playing a psychopath and a crazy dude. John Travolta does a stunning job. Lastly, this action movie has a beautiful ending. See more Parsa P Dec 13 Face/off (1997) Eyes are a very important element for exchanging emotions and acting without dialogue in Face/off. Eyes even leave a bigger impact when used with John Woo’s slow motion technique. In general, actors who played the characters did a pretty good job, but it was a harder job for Nicholas Cage and John Travolta who did an amzing job. The first fight battle at the hangar is ambiguous. Sometimes, it feels as if the officer shoots somewhere that we all know Castor Troy is not there. Therefore, orientations of the cameras and shots, in terms of directing audience eyes, are not efficient enough. Additionally, there are goofs and mistakes especially in the action scenes. For example, in the prison break scene, Sean would be realistically shot by the guards. Overall, Great cuts, slow motions, and acting in the film are what make it unique. The film makes enough thrill that leaves the audience entertained enough. See more Iman R @irod78 Dec 10 I literally couldn't make it through more than 9 min and 5 seconds of this movie. The acting is vomit enducingly bad. It's not just that it's over the top, it's unrealistic and unconvincing...which is what bad acting is. But what's equally bad or worse is the writing. Cage's character says I quote "I could eat a peach for hours" what the fuck does that mean?, then he says "if I asked you to suck my tongue would you be grateful?" Then he sticks out his tongue and the lady sucks his tongue. It's just so fing strange, stupid and unbelievable that I couldn't buy a second of it. I purposely avoided this movie when it came out nearly 30 years ago because the previews looked bad and cheesy...I was right. I dont know how it was well received or how anyone involved with this movie continued to have a career. To think Travolta went from pulp fiction to this piece of shit. I actually never liked cage in any movie. He and John woo suck balls. I rate this movie: 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮 See more Gregory S Dec 8 This is just an incredible movie, and a lot of fun. They could not have picked two better actors to play these characters. A True 90s action classic. See more Claire S Dec 7 The only thing more ridiculous than the premise of this film is the even more ridiculous never ending end scenes. An ludicrous waste of my time. One star for at least being memorable because of how bad it is. See more Read all reviews
