Action ecstasy Face/off on TV today: That’s what the Nicolas Cage film is about

In the Body of the Enemy – Trailer (German)

FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) is after terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage), who is threatening all of LA with a bomb that is set to go off in the next few days. But when Archer tries to capture Troy, he falls into a coma. The only way to find out where the bomb was hidden now is via Castor’s brother Pollux Troy (Alessandro Nivola), who was involved in the plans and is now in a high-security prison.

To get the information out of the suspicious Pollux, Archer has his face remodeled and also adjust body and voice to become the spitting image of his mortal enemy, Castor Troy. His plan seems to be working. However the real Castor Troy awakens unexpected and uses the same equipment to himself turn into archers. This starts the mind game with a lot of overacting of the stars Cage and Travolta. The spectacle culminates in an epic showdown.
