Face/Off

Send us some fan mail!

Face/Off delivers one of the most audacious premises in action movie history as FBI agent Sean Archer undergoes experimental surgery to take on the face of his archenemy, Castor Troy, in order to foil a terrorist plot. The movie's wild ride begins when terrorist Castor Troy is captured but not before he plants a bomb, forcing agent Archer to literally wear the criminal's face to infiltrate prison and find its location.

• John Travolta and Nicolas Cage masterfully portray each other's characters after the face swap
• Hong Kong action director John Woo brings his signature style with dual-wielded guns, slow motion, and symbolic doves
• The $80 million production features spectacular practical effects including exploding planes and boats
• The face-swapping premise allows both actors to explore the psychological dimensions of assuming another's identity
• Several scenes have become iconic, including the Mexican standoff in the church with multiple characters pointing guns
• The surprising depth comes from how each character experiences the other's life, family, and relationships

Watch Face/Off for its perfect blend of over-the-top action, committed performances, and the most ridiculous premise executed with complete conviction.
