The culture of terrible movies

A few minutes into the Nicolas Cage/John Travolta cheese-fest Face/Off, were almost immediately treated to some of the most preposterous dialogue and far-fetched action movie scenarios in the history of man. One wonders how such an embarrassment of a film can keep you entertained.
