After 25 years, the John Woo action-thriller Face/Off still holds up in the eyes of at least one of its two main stars. Directed by Woo and written by Mike Werb and Michael Colleary, Face/Off was released in theaters in 1997. Despite its bizarre premise, which featured an FBI agent (John Travolta) and a criminal mastermind (Nicolas Cage) trading faces (and lives, subsequently), the film was a tremendous hit.
