Facade

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.

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.

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.

This was almost exactly like a run-of-the-mill porn movie (except there was precious little porn in it, except for at couple of bare-boobs shots), what with the incredibly bad acting, utterly pointless plot and ridiculous scenes completely unrelated to the rest of the story (case in point: the singing hippie priest)

Avoid at all cost! 1/10

What is this movie about? Other than Eric Roberts being very nice to look at, this movie was all over the place with scenes that barely connected to each other. Yet, in some way I still liked it. I tried to come up with a theme or moral, but couldn't. Can you?
