![]() This leads to two incredibly enjoyable performances at the center of this wild concept. With the faces now fully swapped, it’s time to have some fun, as Archer attempts to go undercover as Troy, while Troy now looks like a notable special agent with a wife ( Joan Allen) and rebellious daughter ( Dominique Swain) who have no idea that their father and husband has undergone this surgery.Īs one would expect with this cast, much of Face/Off’s fun comes down to Cage doing a Travolta impression, while Travolta does a Cage impression. Honestly, not an unreasonable request when you look like Mortal Kombat 4’s Meat come to life. When Troy wakes up, rightfully pissed off, he looks like a Mortal Kombat character post-fatality, and demands that the doctors give him Archer’s face. While Archer-as-Troy is going undercover to get information from Pollux, Troy-in-a-coma is just sitting there with absolutely no face. This secret procedure is simply remarkable.īut to me, taking the face off isn’t the most fucked part. Even wilder is how easily it apparently is to alter John Travolta’s body to look like Nicolas Cage, and yet, this procedure is reversible? Archer has a scar where Troy’s bullet went through his body and hit his son, and while he has to get this scar removed for this whole situation to work, he wants the scar back after the mission, and again, that’s just no big deal to this team. The sickening “thwuck” sound of a face popping off the human skull will haunt me for all my days. You’re probably thinking, “taking off a person’s face is going to be gross,” and you would be absolutely right. In order to do this, the actual face of Troy has to be taken off and grafted onto Archer, while Archer’s face is put on ice for later. This horrific procedure seems to be no big deal, and relatively quickly, Archer agrees to take on the demeanor of his mortal enemy. ![]() The procedure is explained as if they’re offering to take off a mole. ![]() To find out where the bomb is, Archer is offered an experimental surgery where he will take on the face, appearance, and voice of Troy. OK, so here’s where things get really interesting.
