Face/Off

CriticsCritics: 88
AudienceAudience: 7.5

To stop a terrorist threat, an FBI agent undergoes an experimental facial transplant to assume his enemy’s identity and gather crucial information. When the plan is disrupted, both men become entangled in a dangerous struggle involving deception, personal loss, and the agent’s fight to reclaim his life.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like loud 1990s action, theatrical performances, and nonstop twists reminiscent of Speed; Not for you if you prefer realism, subtlety, or tightly restrained storytelling.
