Face/Off Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Face/Off immediately dials in on the operatic lunacy of its two leading men.
Chicago Reader
Patrick Z. McGavin
Redeemed by Woo's bravura skills, Face/Off becomes more than just a genre exercise.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Woo, a master of poetical carnage, mixes kitsch, sadism, sentiment and comedy with choreographic precision.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
I won't pretend that I completely enjoyed it, but it certainly has a few elements that I've never seen before. Action aficionados will undoubtedly slobber all over themselves.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
[A] gorgeously shot, repetitively violent, occasionally repellent, sometimes silly and consistently trashy fantasy.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
For all its fiery explosions, Face/Off just kind of implodes.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
It's sick, slick and sensational.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
In Face/Off, Woo sweeps us away again, into a world of wild action, heroism, villainy and double faces that turn deadly.
Slate
David Edelstein
A knockout new thriller by John Woo.
Seattle Times
Keith Simanton
Face/Off is a full-blooded, movie-going experience. It's 100 percent movie.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Face/Off is the best action movie of the summer.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Almost indefensibly violent, the film is one of those whirligigs of wit, barbaric energy, blood spatters and firepower that will be adored by the morally retarded among us -- like me -- and loathed by the morally superior.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Face/Off makes bad movies look worse and makes the making of good movies look like the most thrilling work in the world.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Scenes of high-voltage action vie with wild hilarity as two guys with guns switch faces and identities.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It's difficult to describe the jolt his films deliver when [Woo]'s on, and he is on with a vengeance here.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Watching John Travolta and Nicolas Cage square off and literally exchange roles brings back the old-fashioned pleasure of astutely judged movie star pairings in a major way.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Florid, passionate, frequently hilarious and loaded with messy emotions that nobody in his or her right mind should even attempt to explain, it's operatic in its nutball intensity.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You see what thickets this plot constructs; it's as if Travolta adds the spin courtesy of Cage's personality, while Cage mellows in the direction of Travolta.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Here comes a mega-movie that actually delivers what mega-movies promise...
USA Today
Andy Seiler
It could be argued that this movie's callousness toward human life is nihilistic and nasty. But Woo takes everything so absurdly far that audiences laugh at what horrified them moments before.
