Is ‘Face/Off’ Worth Seeing?
Oh, it’s glorious.
With a 92% positive and certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics agree.
To foil a terrorist plot, FBI agent Sean Archer assumes the identity of the criminal Castor Troy, who murdered his son through facial transplant surgery, but the crook wakes up prematurely and vows revenge.
In a retrospective piece, Collider’sHarrison Chuteclaimed the film “obliterates the line between good and bad”.
Face/Offtrades suspense for spectacle, but also works as a thoughtful not brainy action movie.
Are the performances good?
Technically, theyre overacted.
So the question, then, is if theyre therightperformances, if theyre entertaining.
Thats all that really matters, and the answer is, hell yes.
Face/Offis streaming now on Pluto.
