Starring Liam Neeson and Frances MacDormand, I expected this movie to be clever, insightful, and a delight to watch.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Worse than Face-Off? Arguably. Total Recall? Maybe. The Fifth Element? Yes.
A horrifying bastard child of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, a Korean knock-off of the Dark Knight, and the Phantom of the Opera without music. The plot is as follows: A scientist Payton (Liam Neeson) is tragically blown up for no real reason when his girlfriend Julie (Frances MacDormand) finds out about a bribe at her law firm. After that, some mad scientists find Liam in a river and without asking any questions do a dangerous experiment that makes Liam unable to feel pain and an uglier version of the Hulk (not the new one, the old one that made you want to die inside). From then on, Liam somehow magically starts switching faces and pretending to be various people to get revenge on the ones who did this to him.
All in all, this movie has more plot holes in it than a freshman boy’s gym socks. I must say, the best parts for me were the special effects. These special effects rival Plan Nine from Outer Space. Whenever Liam gets angry, little explosions happen in his eyes as his pupils dilate madly and he spurts fire from his eyes.
This is not a good movie, but it is a funny one. This is something to watch at 3 A.M. with your very drunk friends.

Are you seriously saying that Face-Off, Totall Recall, and The Fifth Element are not good movies!!??
/disown
They are the kind of movies that are so horribly bad, they become good in a cheesy sort of way. It's like Legend or the Labyrinth. Is it good? Hellz no. It's it amusing? Why yes, indeed it is.
