Face/Off (1997)

Remember when years later Nicky Cage is describing his screenplay "The Three" in Adaptation? This is basically that, although I will say that Nic and John played the other commendably well here.

Face/Off (1997)

The only problem i have with these types of movies (freaky friday, the chage-up etc...) is that the actor has to play two different characters, and they usually end up playing just a different version of themself. Face/off is probably the best body-switch movie to date though.

John Woo brought his Hong Kong action style to the west and utilized two of our greatest insanity driven performance actors in Nic Cage and John Travolta. Don't go in looking for realism, go in looking for entertaining craziness.
