Face/Off
A unexampled Honest Trailer forFace / Offspotlights the folly of Nicolas Cage and John Travolta switching identities . When it comes to A - list doer in Hollywood , few have had stranger vocation paths than Cage and Travolta . Both human have been nominated double at the Oscars , with batting cage win for 1995’sLeaving Las Vegas . Both have at various times been look at one of the biggest star in the world , and both have turned in performances so salutary that they ’re impossible not to respect .
Yet , both Cage and Travolta have also appeared in a cavalcade of films that are rightfully awful , with both earning Razzie nomination for their work . While every actor - no matter how talented - has at least a mates underwhelming films on their resume , Cage and Travolta have signed on to more than their fair share , with Cage especially earning a reputation as someone who ’ll agree to play pretty much any role he ’s offered .
One of the craziest projects in either Cage or Travolta ’s respective vocation is definitely 1997’sFace / Off , the stateside first appearance of legendary Hong Kong activity director John Woo . While motion-picture show in which two characters switch indistinguishability were by no means a unexampled concept by 1997,Face / Off’sconceit took the scenario to a whole new spirit level of oddness , with Cage and Travolta ’s characters both undergoing operative procedures transplanting the other military man ’s face onto their own body .

As fun and enjoyably activity - pack asFace / Offis , there are many easy aim for humor , and the Honest Trailer does n’t miss a single one of them . Perhaps the big logical knock onFace / Off- and this is admittedly plebeian to many chronicle where shaping surgery changes a person ’s identity - is why exactly anyone was fooled by the switch for very long , specially the wife of Travolta ’s character Sean Archer . Just because one ’s boldness face like someone else , does n’t switch their body , and both men have quite unlike physical flesh and name feature .
Still , the enjoyment factor ofFace / Offhas nothing to do with coherent eubstance and everything to do with Cage and Travolta chewing the scenery like it was made of particularly flavorful chewing gum , and the Honest Trailer does know that too . As it repoint out , everything makes pure sense if the looker is on lots and lots of cocaine .
