Review of Face/Off

Face/Off (1997)
9/10
Another action film that tries something different and succeeds
27 January 2017
Face/Off is a film with such a bizarre story that you might think you won't enjoy it. However, once you get past the very far-fetched plot, you'll find a really good film lurking in the background. It does have a complex story, but is told in a straightforward manner that makes it easy to follow.

While the film contains some very good action scenes, and an equally good amount of drama, the most entertaining aspect is watching John Travolta and Nicolas Cage play each other; the performances from the two are excellent, you genuinely believe they are in each other's skin.

A must watch for anyone who likes action films that try something a little bit different.
