Facade

I really liked this movie. I agree with the one who compared this to Hudson Hawk. I loved Hudson Hawk and this movie did remind me of it. And I'll agree with another user who compared this to "hotel softporn," except I tend to like the hotel softporn aspect of it, like most guys I know. Some chics are pretty hot. Most of all, I really liked the off balance humor. It is no "Tommy Boy" or "Plains, Trains and Automobiles" but it has its moments. I say give this movie a shot. You may even dare to like it!

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.

Yes, yes...a fantastic film in in its corniness. Bad acting, bad direction, bad sound, bad music... Everything in this sounds, feels and smells cheap...You know, if they played movies in elevators instead of music, this might be THE essential elevator movie.

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.
