''Face/Off'' is the second American [[Heroic Bloodshed]] film by Hong Kong director [[John Woo]], starring [[John Travolta (Creator)]] and [[Nicolas Cage]] playing an FBI agent and terrorist, as [[Arch Enemy|arch enemies]] fighting it out to see who can use [[Guns Akimbo|the most guns at the same time]]. Oh, and then they switch places to save LA.
 
Sean Archer, an FBI agent, pursues his [[Arch Enemy]], terrorist Castor Troy. Archer wants revenge on Castor Troy because the terrorist killed his son with a bullet meant for him. Archer succeeds in capturing Troy, but learns that before Castor went into a coma, he had placed a bomb somewhere in Los Angeles.
Line 68:
* [[Husky Russkie]]: Dubov.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: "You watch Your fuckin' mouth".
* [[Large Ham]] - Cage and Travolta spend the movie trying to [[Ham -to -Ham Combat|top each other]]. Both succeed.
** It has to be said... the quality of Cage as Troy trumps the quantity of Travolta as Troy. YMMV, both actors play good guys more often than not. This was Travolta's second major film as a villain (the first being the less successful ''[[Broken Arrow (1996 film)|Broken Arrow]]''), and it's clear Travolta loves being a bad guy.
* [[Leitmotif]] - Sean's whole family has one.
