FBI agent Sean Archer (Travolta) knows how to stop elusive terrorist Castor Troy (Cage). He’ll become him. Archer undergoes a futuristic surgery and has Troy’s face mapped onto his, then infiltrates the terrorist’s world to discover his deadly secrets. But as much as Archer looks and acts like Troy, he doesn’t really know him. He never figures Troy will retaliate and force doctors to transform him into Archer. Now the agent faces a shattering nightmare: his archrival is living with his family. The Travolta/Cage star-power comes on strong and so does the excitement in this roaring thrill machine of a movie from master action director John Woo (The Killer, Hard Target). So buckle up. It’s going to be a furious fight.

Just focusing on the Blu Ray transfer itself. Should you check on any of my reviews, and I hope that you do, that is what you will get, only a discussion of the quality of the transfer. The video transfer onto Blu Ray, as opposed to the standard def version of Face Off, offers an improvement in both resolution and shadow depth....it is not the best video transfer I have ever seen and there are some scenes that appear soft and perhaps muted via the compression, but never the less, the video transfer to Blu Ray is good. There aren't any hints of video banding, aliasing or artifacts. Some snow or grain can be seen if you look for it but it is not very apparent or in any way distracting. The audio is the star of this transfer, tho the audio on the Standard Def version was also good. You are offered DTS 5.1 or 5.1 EX. I preferred the DTS audio and, tho it is lossy, the disc is still demo worthy as it will definitely give your audio system a huge workout. This is a loud movie and, at one point, I had to turn the volume down a touch. There is excellent use of the discreet channels and panning of effects from front to back and side to side. Your sub woofer is kicking out the jams producing as much bottom end as your system can handle. My system is very high end audiophile gear and it was wonderful to hear it put to good use. The extras provide deleted scenes, an alternate ending (which I am glad they didn't use) and a lengthy and comprehensive 'Making of'. Commentary tracks are included as well as a very interesting bio of John Woo. I have long loved this movie. As I said, the standard DVD version was not bad at all. Therefore, the jump to Blu Ray doesn't provide an earth shaking difference but it is still a great BluRay and well worth buying. All my movie reviews are of this nature and focus only on the quality of the transfer to BluRay so check them and see if they are of help as well. Hopefully, this review has been of some help to you in determining your purchase, hope I am on the correct path with a review of the transfer quality as opposed to providing plot summaries. Thanks Review: "It's like looking in a mirror, only.....not." - Sean Archer (Travolta) has been trying to hunt down his son's killer, an infamous terrorist named Castor Troy (Cage), for six years. Now, Troy has activated a bomb that would destroy a large portion of Los Angeles, and the only ones who know the exact location are him and his brother Pollux (Nivola). When Troy is knocked out and put in a coma, there is very little development in knowing where the bomb is supposed to be. Archer has only one chance in getting the information from the sociopathic Pollux, but his own brother is the only one he can trust. This leads to a highly secretive surgical procedure, in which Sean Archer "becomes" Castor Troy. After the surgery, there is hardly any difference: the hero looks exactly like his rival. And since this movie requires a whole lot of suspense, the story takes a vicious turn as the real Castor Troy miraculously comes out of his coma, and forces the doctors who were responsible for the operation to help him "become" Archer. Soon, "Archer" revels in his rival's family life, while "Troy" adapts himself into his rival's criminal life. Yes, the plot may be a bit implausible, but I think that's beside the point. What we have here is not only an explosive action film, but also a distinctive human drama. We see how this secret surgical procedure affects both men's careers, companions, and loved ones. And the drama mixes very well with the action scenes, which are some of the best ever filmed. Director John Woo has done a superb job with this one. Bullets and shells fly everywhere, cars and boats explode, people are jumping from here to there, it's almost insane! And yet, Woo and the screenwriters still give us time to breath with some dramatic scenes involving the chemistry between both main & supporting characters. Almost every scene involving action and drama is contrasted perfectly. Again, the plot isn't entirely realistic, but what really matters here are the high-octane action and the effective drama. Congratulations to Woo, Travolta, Cage, Allen, the supporting cast, the stuntmen, and the entire crew that worked on this film.

Grade: A- ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Possibly the best action movie made! *by M***E on June 9, 2001* Usually when we go to see an action movie, we keep in mind that the movie may not have the best acting or story line, but we will have the opportunity to see numerous gun fights, explosions, chaos, and so on. Well, I have news for you. All of the above WAS true, until a movie called "Face/Off" came out. This is unlike any action movie ever made. The story is so deep, and the characters are portrayed in realistic manners. There are memorable quotes in this movie, but they are in no way corny. The story has to be what sticks out most in this movie. Travolta is an FBI agent, who wants to take out the villian, played by Cage, once and for all. The main reason is because Cage is responsible for the murder of his son. Travolta is able to take care of Cage, or so he thinks, and it seems like everything is fine. Until it is learned that Cage had planted a deadly bomb somewhere in L.A. Now, Travolta's only hope is to undergo brutal surgery to transform his self into Cage, in order to get the location out of Cage's brother. Who could've imagined that the real Cage woul wake up and trasform himself into Travolta? This movie has it all; suspense, action, and drama. There are great gun fights which will take your breath away. The action is intense, but the story is even better. The only thing I had a problem with in this movie was that Travolta and Cage could never hit each other when they were in the brutal gun fights. Sure, they could hit the janitor, innocent bystanders, and the other baddies, but never each other!! Oh well, I guess you have to have that element to make the movie last longer. This is one of the best action movies ever made, and I would advise people to view this wonderful flick if they haven't already. The movie is so good, that it is an almost guarentee that you will watch it a second time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Face/Off 4KUHD 4K UHD - Silence of the Lambs 30th Anniversary 4K UHD - Seven (4K Ultra HD + Digital) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/567991293-face-off-4kuhd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/567991293-face-off-4kuhd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
