Send us a text

In today's show, Kenny and Del review the 1997 Sci-Fi Action film Face/Off, celebrating its 25th anniversary today.   

On the Independence Day weekend of 1990, five days after the second Die Hard came out, Mike Werb and Michael Colleary set out to write the “next Die Hard.”  Something Hollywood was always clamoring for since the release of the 1988 genre-re-defining action film.  The two Mikes went through many drafts and directors before settling on the version we know today directed by the legendary John Woo. The film is an outrageous over-the-top, risk-taking venture where the Mikes and Woo set out to conceive a one-of-a-kind action film that had both a psychological and emotional element attached to its narrative.  Considered a cult classic, Face/Off was Distributed by Paramount, Directed by John Woo, and stars John Travolta and Nicholas Cage.  So, join us as we review Face/Off!
