“In order to trap him, he must become him.”
John Travolta and Nicolas Cage star in this high-concept thriller where an FBI agent undergoes facial transplant surgery to infiltrate a terrorist cell, only for the plot to unravel when the criminal mastermind wakes up early and retaliates. Director John Woo's visual flair and relentless action sequences push the boundaries of identity and morality, crafting a tense narrative that questions the nature of self and the lengths one will go to protect others.
