The ordeal of superheroic, singularly dedicated FBI agent Sean Archer (Travolta) is only beginning after
finally capturing his archnemesis, Castor Troy (Cage), an elusive, maniacal terrorist who claimed the life of
Archer's son. While Troy languishes in a coma, Archer surgically "borrows" Troy's face in an
attempt to gather evidence about Troy's last bomb--which is currently ticking away in a Los
Angeles office building. Trouble ensues when Troy wakes up faceless, borrows Archer's visage,
and makes a mess of Archer's life; all the while, both men struggle to adapt to their new identities
while struggling to blow each other away. Another balletically filmed, thematically complex action
smorgasbord from Hong Kong vet Woo.
