Les yeux de la vengeance

This movie is a remake of A Face To Die For, made in 1996 and starring Yasmine Bleeth. Some facts are different but it is still the "scar-and-revenge" theme. Both movies though are enjoyable watches.

I.m a true "classic" film buff, so I was really surprised at how watchable this was And watchable is the ultimate test of a film. Well-crafted mystery-drama,few cliches,and horses and horseracing are more interesting than the usual drug/gangster themes.Not a "great" film, but enjoyable,worth watching.

I was surprisingly engaged by this TV movie which I caught one rainy Saturday on Lifetime. Once I started watching it, I was unable to stop watching. Crystal Bernard is very effective in her role as a woman betrayed who then tries to get her life back on track. The rest of the cast is fairly good as well though it was disappointing to me to lose Barry Corbin's character so early. As the other reviewer noted, there are some unique plot devices in this movie which make it stand above the average fare on television. In particular, the horse racing story line is most welcome. Overall, I would recommend this movie. It is worth the investment of your time.

After serving time for a crime she didn't commit based on trumped up charges by her husband(Doug Savant), a disfigured horse trainer(Crystal Bernard)has plastic surgery and sets out to ruin her now ex-husband. Actually a pretty good made-for-TV drama that also stars Barry Corbin, Connie Cooper, Claire Rankin and Country Music singer Billy Dean.

Recommended viewing for all prospective producers, writers and directors on how NOT to make a movie.

This movie is so, so bad. The script is canned: just add water! (Or a few strained, pathetic tears on Bernard's part.) The plot is more predictable than what happens when you put popcorn in the microwave, and unfortunately, less interesting to watch.

"A Face to Kill For" had potential. Not to be anything outre or recherche mind you, but at least mildly entertaining in your typical brainless-Hollywood fashion. However, deus ex machina was the crutch of the writers/director and they mashed all potential into the ground with this contrived plot device. I don't need to spoil this movie for you by giving away the story -- that'd be like telling you what happens when you put your tongue to metal in the middle of winter. And believe me, after watching this movie, you might just do so as punishment.

Doug Savant is the only mildly redeeming quality this movie has: his acting is adequate. However, I'd like to now add Crystal Bernard to the list of people who should not act. She's in great company: Madonna, Courtney Love, Andie MacDowell, Elle Macpherson, Tori Spelling...
