Is it Ok to put plastic as another barrier over faced insulation before you drywall?

In many cases it has been found the use of POLY vapor barrier over the studs on the inside causes more problems than it fixes.

You did not give you location or climate.

Find which climate that you are in and then click on the house recomendations for that climate and you will see examples of walls and insulation.
