AGREED ...and the fact it has a 7.3 here on IMDb is insane...must be mainly obama supporters voting on this site.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is everything that is wrong with IMDB summed up in a nutshell. When it doubt, randomly mention Obama.

OR when in doubt mention the fact it's the GOP/Tea Party/Bushes fault.

Don't blame the ignorant, they're like parasites. They're what's wrong with the country, not any party.

The movie actually got critical acclaim. The people who disliked it are a huge minority.

That would be average reviews, not critical acclaim, which would be about 85%-100%.

This movie was so bad the throngs that didn't like it would not waste their time reviewing it...... Take the phrase Far-Fetched and multiply it by 100 and you still would have a more believable flick. From the premise to the final script.... just bad.

By far the most imaginative scenario it has been filmed ever, even independence day has more meaning than this blockbuster

Thanks Obama.

Clearly you and the OP haven't seen many Blockbuster films. And I'm not an Obama supporter and I enjoyed this movie.

If that is true you really haven't seen any horrible movies. Especially if you think this is the worst of all.

Yeeesh! It's not a good movie, but THE WORST?

Have you seen any of the Transformers movies? That tacked-on Indiana Jones movie? Real Steel? Battleship? The Last Airbender (or any other M. Night Shamamamalamalmalmalan movie after The Sixth Sense? I could go on, but I'm already developing a headache recalling all of this schlock cinema.

Face/Off is a typical 90's action movie; loaded with all of the tropes audiences had come to expect. There is nothing exceptionally good or bad about it, it's just par for the course.

Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, even Lady in the Water, are ART compared to this trash. And Face/Off is just as dumb as The Happening, if we're being completely honest about it.

This is the best of John Woo's Hollywood movies. I mean, "Broken Arrow" and "Hard Target" are cool, and "Windtalkers" had some great stuff, but "Face/Off" is just SO entertaining, had some great characters and behaviors, and some outstanding action sequences. Classic Woo.

Stark_XLII Pretentious Millennials.....that's why lol. If it's not a Chris Nolan film or Marvel and it's from the 90's they're going to hate it. Everyone of these schmucks on here thinks they're a professional film critic.
