Face/Off

Face/Off

1997

When an antiterrorism agent (John Travolta) wants to get the bad guys, he goes under the knife to acquire the face and voice of a captured terrorist (Nicolas Cage). When Cage escapes from custody, he turns the tables and takes on Travolta's face. Oscar-worthy performances? No! But you will get an explosive cat-and-mouse pursuit of the utmost lethal ferocity.

In order to catch him, he must become him.
