John wails. Mike controls John. John sobs softly. Suddenly, John's face turns into angry.
What I'm trying to describe is the facial expression changes. John was sad and crying, and suddenly he get anger. Instead of saying "He get anger," I'm describing how his face changes. Is this correct in English? Is it commonly used by native English speaker?
In my language we have this kind of sentence, like describing how your face changes with different moods like laugh, crying, anger, etc.

English has several words that are used to describe facial expressions associated with certain emotion(s).
For example, you could say he beamed in joy, he scowled in disgust, he grimaced in pain, he sneered in contempt, and he glowered in anger.
From ODO:
If you aren't aware of the right word to use, though, you can also say something like:
(contorted could be used with other negative emotions, too, such as sorrow or despair)
There's also the idiom look daggers, as in:
which means John glared at him with a personal, angry, spiteful look.
