Cage. Travolta. Faces. Off. Need we say more?
Okay fine, we will say more. Woo. Gershon. CCH Pounder. Margaret Cho. And many other people you may have forgotten were in Face/Off. It was a big movie! A major culmination of 90s action film extravagance, big exploding setpieces, and enough gun ballet to make John Wick blush.
John Travolta is a hard-nosed FBI agent who’s committed to avenging his son while being as whiny as possible. Nic Cage is the terrorist / sniper / party animal responsible for his son’s death, in a deeply disturbing opening scene that doesn’t exactly scream “summer blockbuster.” The movie is kinda weird, folks!
It’s easily the best film in which Nic Cage asks someone to suck his tongue, and we’re very happy to riff it at last. Release some doves, slap on some gravity boots in a secret oil rig prison, and join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Face/Off!
