Faces in the Crowd


FACES IN THE CROWD (2011) - March 17, 2012
A cheesy but basically entertaining film about a woman who, after surviving an attack from a serial killer, finds herself stricken with "face blindness," unable to recognize even her own face in the mirror.  The film was competently directed, and the choice to cast a variety of actors in each of the roles to put the audience in the protagonist's shoes was an interesting one.  But the movie just felt like B-level stuff, with the low budget and general lack of talent apparent in the look of the film, the hammy script, and most of the performances (Milla Jovovich was pretty much the only person to give a decent performance -- or at least as good as could be expected, given the material).  **1/2
