DVD Reviews of Face Off [HD DVD]

DVD Review: Woo makes a great "Face Off"
Summary: 4 Stars

I've not been too pleased with some of John Woo's American films as compared to the HK movies he did formerly but this one is a rare exception. Free of studio tampering, "Face Off" is a tour de force for the director and the two lead actors, Travolta & Cage. I've seen this on Standard def than I rented the HD DVD version and what a difference!! If you want someone to notice the advantages of Hi-Def over standard, play them this disc! The visuals have a depth of field unequalled to none (maybe Batman Begins perhaps) and the sonics are out of this world to boot! I am definitely buying a copy of this in HD DVD before they're gone. I recommend this to owners of HD DVD machines as well.

Description of Face Off [HD DVD]

At his best, director John Woo turns action movies into ballets of blood and bullets grounded in character drama. Face/Off marks Woo's first American film to reach the pitched level of his best Hong Kong work (Hard-Boiled). He takes a patently absurd premise--hero and villain exchange identities by literally swapping faces in science-fiction plastic surgery--and creates a double-barreled revenge film driven by the split psyches of its newly redefined characters. FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) must play the villain to move through the underworld while psychotic terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) becomes a perversely paternal family man while using every tool at his disposal to destroy his nemesis. Travolta vamps Cage's tics and flamboyant excess with the grace of a dancer after his transformation from cop to criminal, while Cage plays the sullen, bottled-up agent excruciatingly trapped behind the face of the man who killed his son. His attempts to live up to the terrorist's reputation become cathartic explosions of violence that both thrill and terrify him. This is merely icing on the cake for action fans, the dramatic backbone for some of the most visceral action thrills ever. Woo fills the screen with one show-stopping set piece after another, bringing a poetic grace to the action freakout with sweeping camerawork and sophisticated editing. This marriage of melodrama and mayhem ups the ante from cops-and-robbers clichés to a conflict of near-mythic levels. --Sean Axmaker
