“The best action movie of the summer.” Gene Siskel
“Florid, passionate, frequently hilarious and loaded with messy emotions that nobody in his or her right mind should even attempt to explain, it’s operatic in its nutball intensity.” Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
“Face/Off is a full-blooded, movie-going experience. It’s 100 percent movie.” Keith Simanton, The Seattle Times
