Face/Off

What an absolutely bonkers-ass movie. As insane as the premise sounds, the movie itself is even crazier. While I did enjoy it, I will say it's entirely too long. A good chunk of time could easily be shaved off, especially during the long ass chase scenes. There is something brilliant about watching John Travolta and Nic Cage have a weird-off though, and I can assure you it was a tie. Kind of a "need to see it to believe it" situation. I do feel like if it starred only one of these actors it'd be more of an actual movie rather than the bizarre spectacle that it is, but also when else are you going to see two performances like this in one movie??? And I'm a sucker for actors acting like other characters acting like themselves. I also appreciate how the movie didn't shy away from showing the face transplant surgery. I figured they would both just go into a room and come out with each other's faces but they showed a lot more than I expected and the effects looked pretty damn good. Will I ever come back to this movie? I highly doubt it. But I am definitely glad I saw it.
