Without question - It was actor, Eric Stoltz' sincere portrayal of the American teen, "Rocky" Dennis (a boy whose face was grotesquely disfigured by "lionitis") who single-handedly held this seriously floundering picture together.
Yep. Without Stoltz' solid and convincing performance (along with some truly excellent make-up effects) 1985's "Mask" was just a messy, little "biker gang" soap opera where Cher chewed up the scenery, threw idiotic tantrums, and, basically, played a total b*tch at every possible opportunity.
And, speaking about the "Turks" biker gang - It really killed me how the whole lot of them were portrayed as being such good-hearted, little "softies" that they, literally, put the likes of the Boy and Girls Scouts of America to absolute shame.... Ha! Spare me!
