750069, Fully agree on how core JDW's performance is to selling this movie

I do get, absolutely GET why some people struggle with how dry he is, or how little character he has, but for me he's so...stoic, right? Which makes the moments when he's unleashing his athleticism or looking beleaguered by the absurdity of his situation remarkably visceral.


I did re-watch this once at home, though, and I was even more disappointed by the plane stunt. I'll never discount the significance of its practicality, but if you're gonna come for Face/Off, you best not miss. Nolan missed.
