Been years since I last watched it, but I remember it being good even though it's overlong. Cage and Travolta are entertaining to watch even if they chew the scenery at times. A movie you have to definitely suspend disbelief for, but it's fun once you do so. I know there have been some rumors going around about a sequel being made and with possible casting.
Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Face/Off (1997) - 3 out of 4 stars
"Two thirds of a terrific movie: Federal agent Travolta agrees to have a heinous criminal's face grafted onto his own, in order to fool the no-good's brother into spilling vital information. But the daring plan goes awry in more ways than one. Travolta and Cage are charismatically over the top, and Woo's staging of action scenes is powerfully good...but the film doesn't know when to stop. Silly plotting and dialogue might have been overlooked in a tighter film. Panavision."
