I saw this film yesterday, and thinking back about it, I only remember the action scenes. I remember buildings exploding, boats exploding, piers exploding. Because that's what it's good at. But mind you, Face/Off is not your generic mindless mess; it is quite clever, but only so.

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90โ€™s (1884 movies items)

" Directed by John Woo, this wonderfully crazy, and over the top action, has John Travolta and Nicholas Cage trading places. Itโ€™s Freaky Friday, but with bullets and explosions. 1997, was indeed a big year for Nicholas Cage, given that this movie and Con Air were big hits at the box office."
