Woo makes these characters and themes refreshing..."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine C- "After seeing this numbing action flick, I'm still stumped what all the hype is about. So many critics and viewers arond the country marveled at this movie, but for what? It's not a horrible movie, but it certainly isn't very good."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "capable of moments of rare cinematic perfection"   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "A slam-bang-in-your-face action thriller with big explosions, multiple bullet storms, spectacular stunts and (get this), great performances, interesting characters, an intelligent script, witty dialogue, a strong female presence, and an intriguing premise"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Watching Travolta and Cage play dual hero and dual villain roles remains the most enjoyable aspect from this film."   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit 7/10 "...director John Woo takes an incredibly silly premise and despite its limitations turns it into an entertaining thrill ride."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 4/4 "Thank God for John Woo, the best action director in the world."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 6/8 "John Woo is showing signs of maturing as a filmmaker."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 2.5/4 "Face/Off is smarter than many other action movies, but it lacks heart. It's interesting to ponder, but it doesn't suck you in."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 4/4 "Travolta plays the over-the-top, oddball villain with gusto, but it is Cage who really impresses, striking no false notes in the more difficult, subtle, emotional role."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 5/5 "The dramatic scenes have emotional gravity, while the exhilarating action sequences defy gravity."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 2.5/4 "I think I finally isolated what irritates me about this movie: It is the fact that it promotes the idea that you can indulge in hatred and vengeance with a positive result."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "Stars Cage and Travolta are fine in their roles."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "The concept of Face/Off is a multifaceted benchmark: it is John Woo’s best American film, a requisite entry in the library of action films, and it is an actor’s dream."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Rumsey Taylor 3.5/4 "Garbage of the finest vintage."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 8/10 "a truly original plotline and a magnificent cast"   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell "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."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3.5/4 Read review   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 89% Fresh Page   1
