My Face/Off review
Face/Off: This movie is
centered on a FBI Sean Archer who’s captured a terrorist name Castor Troy who
killed his son. After his capture Sean learns that he place a bomb in L.A., he
can’t find out where Castor put it because he’s in a coma. So the FBI comes up
with the idea of him and Sean switching faces and goes undercover in prison to
get the information out of Castor’s brother. That becomes difficult when Castor
awakens and took Sean’s identity. So Sean has to prove that he isn’t Castor
Troy before things get out of hand.
This is an underrated
action movie from the 90’s, I mean no one is talking about this movie. I like
the concept of enemies switching places because I haven’t see it done like this
before. We also see how the two men impact each other’s lives whether or not it’s
for the better. Plus them trying to be each other can be funny at times. I’ve
fond of how this movie is directed because it done in a way that it foreshadows
how things could play out in the movie.
Sean Archer is a
tortured soul who still dealing with his son’s murder. That’s my issue with
this characters we don’t know what he’s like before he’s murder and that serve
no purpose in the story.
Castor Troy is kind
of like the Joker as far as enjoying causing death and destruction. Plus
he can be amusing.
One of the problems I
have with this movie is that it could have been a Psychological thrill but the
creators did take advantage of that idea. Family could have been a theme for
this movie but the writer didn’t go in that direction either. The acting from
both leading men can be over the top at times. Overall this is a decent action
movie that I would recommend that you check out.
Rating = Worth Seeing
