My friends and I used to argue over which one is better. Well I've seen Con Air about 6 times and Face/Off twice. At the moment I think Face/Off is better, but Steve Buscemi's performance in Con Air is the best performance out of anyone in the two movies. I think Buscemi is the highlight of Con Air
Which movie do you like better and why?

I really don't like Cage's character in Con Air

Face Off is definitely the better movie, if not the best action movie of the 90s.

My choice would have to be Con Air.

I hate John Woo as a director. The way he slows down the scenes totally wrecks the movie. Just let the action run at its normal pace.

Con Air is laughably bad, a totally unwatchable movie. Face/off was decent, but it was ruined by Mr. Woo's fascination with watching Travolta run his hand across his loved one's faces.
Conair 2/10
Faceoff 6/10

Face off.

Come on! I believe more in faces change than in a six years old girl who loves with all his heart his convited father.

Also the performances by Travolta and Cage are good.

Face/off is better than con air.
I really enjoyed nicolas Cage in face/off.
I thought that his character was a lot more interesting than the one in Con Air.
AND the cast in face/off was brilliant.

I enjoyed both but Faceoff is better than Con Air. A better comparision would be the Rock vs Faceoff.

Con Air 9/10
Faceoff 9.5/10

Face/Off was definitely better than Con Air....whats better than a bad guy with matching gold Springfield Armory customs (Mr.Woo is one of a kind).

O/T:The Rock did kick a*s, Ed Harris rules.

They are both bad movies. This question is like asking what is better, Return to Boggy Creek, or the Dukes of Hazard reunion.

Pick some good movies to choose from. Those were both the most predictable, stereotypical movies I have ever seen.

I agree Shane, both movies are extremely mediocre...I think i liked CON-AIR a little better, though.

Face/Off is the better action flick, but Bucsemi has the best performance out of both movies.
