Very interesting
31 October 2011
This movie has a very interesting premise: A woman runs into a serial killer roaming the streets of the city she lives in. She sees his face, but hits her head and suddenly she can't tell people apart anymore. Her boyfriend, her best friends or even an absolute stranger look completely different every time she sees them. Because their faces are unrecognizable to her. Every man she sees could be the killer for all she knows. And the killer knows what advantage he has.

It could have been done a lot better, I must admit. The movie moves along slowly and it might be difficult to keep your focus when watching this movie. But the interesting premise is worth it.

The leading actors are also very good in their roles. Milla, Julian McMahon and Michael Shanks are all strong actors. Sadly the lead men keep changing in order to fit the premise and this does cause some problems. Though it's very well done, the changing actors aren't as strong in their acting as McMahon or Shanks. This ruins a lot.

The positive aspect is that the viewer also get the faces mixed up. In a normal film it would be a catastrophe, but it works so well in this movie because we become as confused as the leading woman.

All in all I liked the film. It wasn't perfect, but I doubt that anyone will expect this movie to be just that. And the best part is that if you then watch another movie afterwards, you might just like me start questioning every character's face.

The movie sticks to you.
