It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Sadly it's not a logical film. We can buy that such an illness exists, and displays these symptoms. Still you can come up of many ways to recognize people. Just think how blind people can do that. Not only you can recognize the voice, but - if you are not blind - you can always tell short/tall, dark/light, fat/slim and so on. Asking a password from each acquaintance also would be an easy way. Keeping this in mind, obviously many of the scenes in this movie are plain absurd. Other unbearable clichés situations also appear in the movie, good performance from Jovovich though.

This movie has a great story line, the acting is truly, truly well done !! I am a huge fan of Milla Jovovich( Resident Evil movies). I just cannot imagine living with face identity disorder .. Looking at every single person involved in your life and not recognizing them.... so very sad.... Even tho this movie is not true, facial identity disorder is very much real. This movie has a lot of great plots, and twists.. I highly recommend this.. its one of those cuddle up grab a drink type movies. you'll laugh, cry, and just flat out enjoy this movie!! Its even a kind of mystery type , or as they even say, "Columbo" type old fashioned feel good detective story with a twist!

This was a Very Difficult Premise and could not be Fully Realised by the Script and Direction. The Central Theme of Face Blindness is Intriguing but Visually comes off as Muddled and Confusing. The Character's Changing Faces from Milla Jovovich's Perspective are so Fleeting as to leave the Audience more Confused than the Protagonist. This does not Bode Well for a Complex Thriller as the Viewer is in a Constant State of Flux trying to Figure Out who is who and what is what and Things get Lost Trying to Keep it all Straight. To be Kind it was a Killer of an Attempt but it just didn't Work. That Burden Weighed Down the Serial Killer Elements and the Tension was more Frustrating than Thrilling.It's not a Bad Movie Overall and if You can Stay with it and Manage to not be Thrown by all the Faces Fading in and out and can Keep it Together, it Might be a Rewarding and Interesting New Take on the Genre. The Handicapped Victim has been done before but is by No Means Overdone and this Effort was a Good Try but the Execution is just too Thin and the Complexities Overwhelm the Enjoyment. Worth a Watch but the Entertainment Quota will Require Effort.

Milla Jovovich plays a woman whom, after an encounter with a serial killer, injures herself and causes a condition where she cannot control her facial recognition.So only Julian McMahons beard, and ties being worn can help her.When a prolific actor or actress stars in a straight to DVD movie, you know that there must be problems, even ultraviolet had a cinema release.And there are huge problems with this movie, despite the concept being sound. The main problem is, they play this like a horror movie, whereas it could have worked much better as a thriller, an intelligent thriller, rather than having her guess who is who.The cast are okay, but look so out of place, and for the most part, McMahon looks really embarrassed to be this, and on occasion, Jovovich looks and acts like a cyborg.Its aiming for the whodunit crowd, but this would have been made in 1992 with Michael Douglas and Madeleine Stowe.But when you think about if, it was made in the nineties.Has anyone seen Blink, or Jennifer 8?Pointless.
