GUILTY VIEWING PLEASURES
Face/Off (1997)
Info:
- Release Date: June 27, 1997
- Creators: John Woo (director), Mike Werb (writer)
- Genre: Face-Swapping Madness
- Rating: ★★★★☆
Plot:
- A bomb is set to go off in Los Angeles, and Castor Troy and his brother Pollux are the only two who know the location. Enter FBI agent Sean Archer with a crazy scheme: remove the face from the unconscious Castor, copy it on to his own and trick Pollux into giving up the location. Unfortunately, Castor wakes up and demands Archer's face in return. Much madness ensues.
Notes:
- You would think FBI agents would have better ways of making Pollux give up the bomb location without all the face-swapping shenanigans
- Nick Cassavetes as Dietrich! Love large, bald evil men (but I love him even more with hair in The Wraith)
