UPDATE: The cult classic sci-fi action film Face/Off, starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, is set to leave Netflix on January 19. Fans only have a limited time left to experience this iconic film before it disappears from the streaming platform.
Released in 1997, Face/Off has become a defining movie of the 1990s, known for its over-the-top action and unique premise of identity swapping through surgery. Directed by John Woo, this film has grossed nearly $250 million worldwide, solidifying its status as a major box office hit.
With a 93% critics’ score and an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film continues to garner admiration across generations. The critics’ consensus highlights the “beautifully stylized backdrop” of intense action, with the late Roger Ebert describing it as “utterly absurd” in a way that captivates audiences.
Face/Off is part of a “holy trinity” of action movies featuring Cage, alongside The Rock and Con Air. As fans rush to relive the thrilling cat-and-mouse game between an FBI agent and a terrorist, it’s crucial to note that January 19 is the final day to stream this film on Netflix.
In recent years, there have been ongoing discussions about a potential sequel, with Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla vs. Kong, reportedly involved in the project. Both Cage and Travolta are at pivotal points in their careers, making a sequel even more intriguing for fans.
