HD DVD Review: Face-Off - Page 2

The Light and the Dark: Making Face/Off is a one hour documentary covering all aspects of the film. Shot entirely in HD, this is an exhaustive look at the film, with little padding. It’s nearly all original footage.

John Woo: A Life in Pictures is a 26-minute look at the director's life as he tells it through an interview. Others who worked on Face/Off also have a few minutes to speak about him and his style. A classic trailer for the movie is the final piece to this solid HD DVD.

It was originally going to be Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the lead roles, though Woo thought better of it. It’s always hard to imagine someone else in a memorable role, but while those two would have been a monumental box office draw, their styles do not fit the characters. Cage and Travolta pair up beautifully here.
