A once-in-a-lifetime great idea of combining two of the strangest American movie stars at the peak of their interest in exaggerated experimentation, giving them a legitimately deranged sci-fi melodrama spec script involving literally wearing each other like a skinsuit…

andy levyFeb 20, 2018My favorite thing about this film and, trust me, I have a lot of favorite things about it, is that Woo actually got Travolta to say the fine line, "Well, think about me. This nose. This hair. This ridiculous chin."

Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switch faces and spend almost two and a half hours trying to kill each other. This is a five star movie.
Dan RyckertJan 14, 2021I can’t count how many times we all said “if I was in this situation I would just kill myself”

There’s no denying that Cage and Travolta are having a blast with what is essentially an acting thought experiment. They’re both fantastic.

Woo's third Hollywood movie, Face/Off, is the first to balance his visual imagination with the emotional intensity of his Hong Kong films.
