Face / off

Losing face takes on new meaning in director John Woo's hyper-kinetic actioner. FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta), in order to learn where in Los Angeles a nerve gas bomb was hidden by terrorist assassin Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage), undergoes an experimental operation to give him the voice and appearance of his foe. The procedure works-until Troy manages to assume Archer's face and identity and leave him behind bars. Joan Allen, Gina Gershon, Alessandro Nivola co-star. 138 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1 EX, DTS 6.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Spanish; audio commentary; deleted scenes; theatrical trailers.
