Notes: What would you do to protect your family? Would you change your identity? Sean Archer (John Travolta) is an undercover agent trying to take down a “brilliant criminal mind”, Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage). While Troy is in a coma, Archer takes his face, using a new surgical procedure. He does this because there’s a bomb set to destroy Los Angeles, and the only way he can find its location is to go deep undercover - as Troy. When Troy comes to, he takes Archer’s face, and the result is a movie that might have you saying, “how did they do that; how did they swap faces.” At least until you remember it’s just a movie. (The answer, in case you didn’t know, is that Cage and Travolta studied each other’s mannerisms so that they could swap roles.)
