Sean Archer, a very tough, rugged FBI Agent, is still grieving for his dead son Michael. Archer believes that his son's killer is his sworn enemy and a very powerful criminal, Castor Troy. One day, Archer has finally cornered Castor, however, their fight has knocked out Troy cold. As Archer finally breathes easy over the capture of his enemy, he finds out that Troy has planted a bomb that will destroy the entire city of Los Angeles and all of its inhabitants. Unfortunately the only other person who knows its location is Castor's brother Pollux, and he refuses to talk. The solution, a special operation doctor that can cut off people's faces, and can place a person's face onto another person. Archer undergoes one of those surgeries to talk to Pollux. However, Castor Troy somehow regains consciousness and now wants revenge on Archer for taking his face. Not only is Troy ruining Archer's mission, but his personal life as well. Archer must stop Troy again. This time, it's personal.

Movie Reviews

Sacramento Bee - 10/10 by Joe Baltake...it is as elegantly made as it is violent, mating movie mayhem with bits of poetry, opera, psychology and the abstract.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversExciting and then some, Face/Off blends the director's supercharged images of balletic brutality and spiritual catharsis with an off-the-wall humor that allows John Travolta and Nicolas Cage to really let it rip.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleIt's the picture that proves action films don't have to be silly, that a few thrill sequences don't mean every other value has to be shot to pieces.
Empire - 10/10 by Adam SmithSure there are niggles, the most obvious being the length, which could have been reduced by trimming the prison sequences, but in the end this may be his finest moment so far which, by default, puts it in as having a strong claim on the title "best action movie ever made". Really.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Rick GroenThe result is a genre picture that transcends the genre, that gleefully embraces four qualities alien to the bulk of its noisy brethren: (1) thematic texture; (2) kinetic grace; (3) visuals that toy with the mind even while dazzling the eye; and (3) performers who are permitted to act like something other than human wicks for the pyrotechnical bombast.
Montreal Film Journal - 10/10 by Kevin N. LaforestThank God for John Woo, the best action director in the world.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumBut it is the steady accretion of hundreds of small moments in this elegant, high-spirited, intensely satisfying production -- the director's third American movie, but the first to approach the dazzle of his Hong Kong stuff -- that, toted up, makes everything right about this des- perately welcome thriller.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesThe dramatic scenes have emotional gravity, while the exhilarating action sequences defy gravity.
Film Scouts - 10/10 by Leslie RigoulotFace/Off is the kind of action film that gives summer movies a better reputation.
TheMovieReport.com - 10/10 by Michael DequinaTravolta 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.
