Facade

This one doesn't quite work, and is in fact pretty irritating at times. However, there are some clever and witty moments and a few bare breasts. Anyone who's seen Bunuel's "Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" will notice the numerous similarities and references.

I like Eric Roberts but it seems like he has joined the party of actors that go against all the main stream. I mean I saw him in heaven's prisoner's no body else could do that part. Now this movie it is kind odd. I mean you don't know what it is, are they trying to make you laugh or they playing it serious that was the problem with this movie. I do recommend seeing it if you want to but do what i did I waited til it came on cable and said hey looks interesting what the hey still not sure what think but it was a different experience.

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.

Okay I am one of the few courageous souls who will admit to liking this movie. I'm surprised at the number of critics and movie buffs who missed the idea that this movie is a fun satire of the Pulp Fiction/Get Shorty type films and other films (French especially) as well. The dialogue between the two bumbling mob hitmen and between the Eric Roberts character and the black police detective was especially hilarious. I had fun watching it.

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.
