If Face/Off was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Watched Face/Off so you don't have to. You're welcome.

The science in Face/Off has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Face/Off is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Face/Off?
Director clearly thought Face/Off was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Face/Off's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love Face/Off. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: Face/Off is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Face/Off performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Face/Off actually is?
Honestly, Face/Off would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
