Face/Off plot
"In order to trap him, he must become him."
Sean Archer (Travolta) is a cop who has been hunting Castor Troy (Cage) for years. In a confrontation, Troy is nearly fatally injured and falls into a coma. Archer finds out that Troy has a bomb hidden somewhere and only Troy and his brother (who is in prison) know where. Archer has some doctors swap his face for Troy's so he can infiltrate the prison and get the info from Troy's brother. Meanwhile, the real Troy wakes up from his coma and takes over Archer's life with the face of Archer. In a race against time, Archer must find the bomb while stopping Troy from killing anyone who knows about their substitution trick.

My thousandth vote goes to the typical 90s movie face/off. And the title for a movie has never been more appropriate. Faces go up and down and the film is packed with face offs between Cage and Travolta.
Normally I'm not a big fan of either guy, but they seem to have been written for this movie and they looked like they had a lot of fun with it. The film is full of good old-fashioned action and is nicely exaggerated, but in combination with the zeitgeist, everything falls into place in this film.

Rewatched today after 4 years, it remains a fantastic film with 2 top actors Nicolas Cage and JohnTravolta!
This movie is in my top 5 best movies of all time along with Con Air.
Very nicely made with 2 different faces, and the story is also very good, 1 and all action and very spectacular!
The ending is great too!
5 stars because it is and remains a masterpiece!
