Travolta and Cage shine together

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2001)

John Travolta plays an FBI agent called Sean Archer.He has been chasing a terrorist called Castor Troy for several years.Castor is responsible for the death of his son and Sean wants to have his revenge.Archer finds out there's a bomb somewhere in LA.To find out where the bomb is Archer has to borrow Troy's face and go to jail as Castor Troy.Meanwhile Troy wakes up from coma wondering what has happened to his face.And Castor has to go with Sean's face.This makes Sean's wife Eve (Joan Allen) and his daughter Jamie (Dominique Swain) wondering how Sean has changed so much. I know the plot sounds ridiculous and believe me; it is.But don't mind that.Just enjoy the movie with lots of unbelievable action scenes.John Woo is a great Hong Kong director and Face/Off from 1997 is an amazing American feature from the master. Woo likes to use doves flying around in action scenes and slow motion scenes are also his trade mark.There are some breath taking scenes in this movie where the characters shoot in slow motion with powerful music hearing.John Travolta and Nicolas Cage are fine actors and together they are amazing.I recommend Face/Off for every action freak out there.
