Really Surprised!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

A singularly awful movie. Very few films have the awful power of "Façade". There is evidence some form of satire was attempted. It's a botched job. Eric Roberts (as businessman Colin Wentworth) meanders through the proceedings in a hopefully inebriated state. The obligatory "hot chick" moment is over quickly, blessedly; if you're watching for that reason. The soundtrack rips off "Strangers in the Night" (doesn't anyone own the copyright on that song?). Quite possibly, this is the worst film ever made with Eric Roberts. One would certainly have to hope so, anyway. The credits end with a 1997 production date, so this may have been unreleased for a number of years. Really, they needn't have bothered. * Facade (1997) Carl Colpaert ~ Eric Roberts, Camilla Overbye Roos, Angus Macfadyen

I liked this movie, although I will also admit to being strange. I should also mention that I didn't like it until the ending.What had been a very, very strange sequence of illogical events, gradually became cohesive and understandable during the last 10 minutes. The old adage "If you've seen one, you've seen 'em all" definitely does not apply to this movie. If you're very closed-minded and opinionated as to how things should be, you won't like this at all, because it seems to never progress in a normal fashion. I guess that is what I liked about this, it had the courage to take the road less traveled, and it also took every opportunity to poke fun at itself.

It's a pity that a cache-load of post-noir crime efforts set their sights no higher than claims of a tradition shared by RESERVOIR DOGS, PULP FICTION and whatever else oozed from the pen of Tarantino. Thankfully, FACADE is much better than all that. Opening Moments: young woman, seemingly with large bug up backside, attempts to react to a murder, followed by credit tune that sounds as if lifted from some long-dead '70s cop drama. The Plot?? Well, anything more complex than a group of teens gathered at Camp Crystal Lake has yours truly scratching head. What I can report is - torpedo breasts, a genuinely arousing sex scene (you'll know it when you see it...), anti-racist rant made inaudible via Boeing noise, poolside wake hosted by asylum escapee priest who performs '60s hippie anthem, sushi dropped on suited stiff in funeral parlour during inspired marital infidelity speech, playing tennis with bullets...in fact, a whole smorgasbord of nice little touches that show Colpaert really cares - awwwwwww. Best Line(s): Hitperson One: "What's That Smell?" Hitperson Two: "It's Us..." Nun's Armpit: 9/10.

Lousy is not enough to say how bad the script is. It doesn't really have a story and try to portrait this "surreal" environment on very slim intellectual background. It is a pure waste of time and money to watch it. Whoever are affiliated with this movie have made a terrible business and career mistake. Two thumbs down, way down. If the rating has -10, I will give it to this one.
