Featuring special guest Dan Nagan (@aDapperDanMan)!

What is even going on in John Woo's FACE/OFF? The simplest conceit – swap badass criminal Nic Cage and sadboy cop John Travolta's faces for max irony – is stretched beyond its reasonable boundaries and into truly bizarre territory. How can two whole men live as half of each other? What do they become when united in flesh and singular purpose?

Through it all, FACE/OFF retains trademark Woo-isms (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the... other one), which fortunately play off the audience's familiarity with its lead actors to generate some of the wildest, most off-the-wall plot nonsense in cinema history.
