So I rented Face/Off

From an acting perspective the movie is kind of interesting

Since Travolta and Cage switch roles halfway through the film

So you get to see Cage trying to play Travolta while Travolta apes Cage's delivery

I wonder how much work they did together during shooting to come up with a cohesive set of characters so that when they swapped roles it would at least be believable in the context of the film

Actually I don't really wonder that at all

Because when the movie started and I saw Nick Cage with a mustache I instantly reached nirvana

I like to think that the mustache was originally the star of the movie but died halfway through production and was relegated to a short cameo during the prologue
I found the only question I am now capable of asking

Is why doesn't Cage have this mustache in EVERY scene

In EVERY movie

EVER

Although to be fair it didn't end up detracting from his performance

Pictured: Nick Cage winning every Oscar EVER
In fact after it's only after he loses the mustache that Cage graces the audience with what is unequivocally

The most fantastic hostage execution ever
