Face/Off (MA 15+) Presented on 35mm

Face/Off at Revival House Perth

Prepare for the ultimate identity crisis in John Woo's mind-bending 1997 action thriller! John Travolta and Nicolas Cage deliver career-defining performances as FBI agent Sean Archer and terrorist Castor Troy, mortal enemies locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse. When revolutionary face-transplant surgery allows Archer to assume Troy's identity to infiltrate his criminal organization, the plan goes disastrously wrong - leaving both men trapped in each other's lives.

Woo brings his signature style of balletic violence and operatic emotion to this high-concept thriller, creating some of cinema's most spectacular action sequences. The church shootout, the speedboat chase, and the climactic hangar battle showcase Woo's unparalleled ability to choreograph mayhem with artistic precision.

Travolta and Cage relish the opportunity to essentially play each other, creating a fascinating study of identity, obsession, and the thin line between hero and villain. The film's exploration of what makes us who we are beneath the surface adds philosophical depth to the explosive action.
