Nicolas Cage says ‘Face/Off’ has “aged beautifully” after recent rewatch

Given that his latest role requires him to play a fictionalized version of himself that’s occasionally haunted by another, albeit younger and more successful iteration known as Nicky, with a plot revolving around a superfan desperate to have the actor reenact some of his most famous scenes, Nicolas Cage was always likely to dip into his own back catalogue to inspire his acclaimed turn in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

As you’d expect, John Woo’s action classic Face/Off plays an important part in the story of Tom Gormican’s meta action comedy, with Pedro Pascal’s billionaire Cage enthusiast Javi essentially building a shrine to Castor Troy. He might claim that he doesn’t know anything about Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard’s in-development sequel, but the Academy Award winner has high praise for his first outing as the scenery-chewing madman.
