One day, Archer has finally cornered Castor, however, their fight has knocked out Troy cold. As Archer finally breathes easy over the capture of his enemy, he finds out that Troy has planted a bomb that will destroy the entire city of Los Angeles and all of its inhabitants. Unfortunately the only other person who knows its location is Castor's brother Pollux, and he refuses to talk. The solution, a special operation doctor that can cut off people's faces, and can place a person's face onto another person. Archer undergoes one of those surgeries to talk to Pollux. However, Castor Troy somehow regains consciousness and now wants revenge on Archer for taking his face. Not only is Troy ruining Archer's mission, but his personal life as well. Archer must stop Troy again. This time, it's personal.


 
A movie that had "can't possibly work" written all over it, they made it work anyway with the outstanding lead performers. Travolta and Cage can be either the heavy or the hero in anything and in this one they each get to be both. Kudos to the writers and the director for keeping it as simple as possible considering the material. Also the flow of action vs background vs consequences couldn't have been handled better. Stream it!
