His sole purpose in the movie is to the fill the "white pretty boy" void left in Walker's absence. Eastwood worked in this because his acting was befitting a "blank slate" character. However, I don't see him becoming the Paul Walker for this series. The Rock and Diesel was the natural next duo, but that is not happening anymore.

John Travolta seals the deal with all the fun he's having. "Hey boss, I'm really sorry to hear about Tito" "Oh you know...shit happens" Wait, there are people who think CON AIR is better than FACE/OFF? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Cage was probably biologically bold in 1986 but he fought it harder than anyone else in Hollywood. Bruce Willis tried as long a she could but one day, he understood how ridiculous it was and went full Kojack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the majority view actually. Con Air has gained a massive following since the theatrical release and most would likely rank it as the best Cage movie, Face/Off fell off a bit since the John Woo tropes became vogue. Hell, there are good arguments to be made for The Rock to be better than either of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you becoming the person you hated. Why can't you find peace in the fact that you like Face/Off better than Con Air even though it is probably not the prevailing wisdom. Why can't you go gently into the night? Why should your old age burn and rave at close of day? Why must you insist on raging - raging against the dying of the light? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should your old age burn and rave at close of day? Why must you insist on raging - raging against the dying of the light? Because I'm right. (I suppose I could go on a tear about how movies shouldn't get reduced to whichever is deemed more meme-worthy but then again, it'd just be another Old Man Tele rant, wouldn't it?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 12 minutes ago, Tele Came Back said: Yes. I'm a simple fan. I see Nicolas Cage with glorious long hair, I'm all in. No regrets. (Face/Off is incredible of course. It's a movie by ma boy John Woo, how can it not? John Travolta often got overlooked in favor of Cage in that movie, but like Pink said, he definitely helped sealing the deal and cemented its greatness) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood26 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Face/OFF is life. Way way better than Con Air. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If I come across The Rock or Con Air playing I'll often watch them through to the end. I can't recall being motivated enough to watch Face/Off since I saw it when it first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Face/off is fine. Con Air is much better. The Rock is even better. Teles gone senile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 John Woo would be a great choice for a Fast and Furious film but I believe he doesn't make Hollywood movies anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
