Battle of the Clowns

Rating: 1/10 (18 February 2001)

Where do we start? Magna boots in a secret prison? The institute for face changing? Cage vs Travolta? John Woo and his meaningless symbolism? How many doves can this guy film? The premise is ridiculous, the acting is horrible, and the direction is at best obnoxious. The one question that this movie poses is the following: If two men switch faces, can they die? Apparently at least one can, but it sure takes a whole lot of effort.I never laughed so hard at the movies. I literally fell out of my seat laughing at this film. Boy, was the floor dirty. The unintentional humor of this movie is the only redeeming quality. Cage and Travolta are the two worst actors out there, so it was enjoyable to watch them out-unact each other. Cage won, however, with his pathetic head shake in the prison escape, trying to cajole his fellow escapee from killing anymore prison guards. Easily one of the worst films in the history of Hollywood.
