Storyline
Plot Summary:
The elementary school teacher Anna Marchant lives with her boyfriend Bryce in a nice apartment and every now and then she meets her best friends Francine and Nina to drink and talk. When Anna is crossing a bridge to meet Bryce, she sees an infamous serial-killer killing a woman. Anna runs but she is attacked by the killer and she falls off the bridge and hits her head. Anna stays in coma for a week and when she awakes, she learns that she has brain damage followed by Prosopagnosia, a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. The police detective Sam Kerrest unsuccessfully tries to force Anna to remember the face of the serial-killer. Now the serial-killer knows that Anna has seen his face, but she is incapable of even recognizing Bryce and her close friends.

Tie Rack
And here we have a competitor against Dream House for this years worst.Some folks seem blinded in their adulation for Milla Jovovich to reallyreview this movie objectively. Here, let me help you, its a turkey witha capital T. Jovovich does actually make an effort but in this she isalone as the supporting cast are as bland as rice paper. The directormust take some responsibility as something more substantial could havebeen made from the face blindness premise but the direction ispedestrian and as a result the movie lacks any tension or excitement.As in many serial killer/detective/witness combos the witness anddetective end up in each others arms but in reference to theaforementioned "witness", Harrison Ford and Kelly Mcgillis they ain't.Special mention goes out to Julian McMahon who plays the detective inquestion as he brings balsa wood acting to a new low level. Forgetabout Body of Evidence or The Specialist as Faces in the Crowd winshands down for the unsexiest movie romance ever. There's more chemistryin a test tube. Marianne Faithful is wheeled out from cold storage inthe role of some expert on something or other to offer her (stating theobvious) pearls of wisdom to help Milla overcome her affliction.Jovovich's character also has a couple of would you ever date cougargirlfriends, one of whom gets slain by the killer(unfortunately not the"Chica" one). Thankfully we are spared the rain drenched graveyardscene with the cops standing by the trees and the killer watching inthe background. Next time out can someone please provide Milla with a pepper spray thatactually works, but at least she had a cell phone that worked underground.

Milla once again proves that she is one of the best actresses working today.
After viewing the trailer for this virtually unknown thriller I gotexcited for two reasons, firstly it stars Milla Jovovich who isexceptional in everything and also because the story looked extremelyoriginal, and after viewing, it doesn't disappoint. The story is verydifferent to the usual thriller, a serial killer is stalking women andMilla witnesses one of the murders, the murderer chases her and throwsher over a bridge where she hits her head which causes her to get faceblindness, which in turn prevents her from identifying the killer andalso puts a severe strain on her personal and work life. The subsequentman hunt for the killer is a cracking thrill ride which will keep youon your toes for the entire duration.This movie boasts a knockout performance by Milla Jovovich, she is somuch more than an action star zombie killer, she has a terrific rangeand is able to make any character believable, she is just amazing ineverything I see her in, I do hope she continues to land complex roleslike this one because she is so great and infinitely watchable.The story at times goes off track, towards the end it starts to bringin a romance element which is unnecessary but it's only a minorannoyance, the rest of the movie being great makes up for it. Thesupporting cast are also good, Australia's own Julian McMahon does thetough cop act perfectly, and Marianne Fairhfull does her cool voicething very well. The use of different actors playing the samecharacters was definitely a smart move for this movie, it adds a lot tothe whole face blindness element, the director could have been cheapand used cgi to augment people's faces but he doesn't and it's betterthat way.Face Blindness is a disease I have never heard of before, I don't knowIf it's even a real disease but my god it sounds scary, it would trulybe a life ruining debilitation. So if you love Milla Jovovich, lovethrillers or just after something highly original, check this out.Enjoy.

Prosopagnosia, really....
Wow...there is such a condition...Prosopagnosia....and i thought it's amade up condition just to carry the plot of the movie. It is a disorderof face perception where the ability to recognize faces isimpaired...so you can see where this can definitely become a nightmarein reality.Faces in the Crowd is a direct-to-DVD release which surprisinglyexceeds expectations. From being her fan in the Resident Evil franchisewhere acting is put in the back seats to blockbuster action, Milla'stransition from an action heroine to a emotionally distraught survivorin a close encounter with the serial killer "tear jerk jack" becomesevident and worthy of applause. Trying to figure out who the serialkiller is made a challenge even for the audience since we are not giventhe true "face" of the killer as his face changes throughout hisencounters with Milla (Anna). This helps with the "whodunit" aspect ofthe movie........BUT...having said that, **MINOR SPOILER***....it'sstill too obvious who the killer is. That's the problem with this andevery Hollywood crime movie, in reality the killer is never someone youknow or would have any associations with. The chances of being incontact with a serial killer is probably like winning the lottery, eventhe $10 jackpot. The premise was certainly compelling and what got meto watching this (well, and Milla), but with this typical Hollywoodflaw of "I'll make the serial killer someone near you", it dummies upthe movie and makes it a cliché instantly. If they only made the killera total stranger, it would have been a smart thriller...Julian McMahon's character as the detective on the case is alright.Nothing spectacular but does his job (could do without the slight beerbelly and the grubby look though). But the writer just had to make himinto a love interest of Anna? LOL.

Watch it at 2Pm on a rainy Sunday
***This doesn't have spoilers just vague spoilers***where to start with this review, I knew what I was getting into whenyou start a Milla Jovovich movie, though popular (only by looks and adecent actor) she performs in terrible movies her last good ones wereprobably "Fifth element", "the messenger" and "Zoolander" other thenthat the rest of her movies are quite bad. This is another one. Its supposed to be a crime drama but honestly if you're payingattention you're going to find out who the killer is half way throughthe movie. The whole movie I'm screaming "Its that person! Its thatperson!" This movie doesn't try to be funny or comical or witty itsincredibly bland though some what dramatic at times. Milla Jovovichcharacter was a terrible love interest their was no chemistry at allbetween the two, they were together for maybe 3 days "movie time" andwere expected to care about what happens to them as a couple, its cornyhow over dramatized it is. This movie is boring, honestly I doubt ifeven me writing this review is even worth my time. I'm just trying tosave you time and say skip this one and watch it at 2pm on a rainySunday if you have nothing better to do.

A pretty original and tense thriller that shows off more of Jovovichs improving acting. Worth watching. I say B+
"He's not stupid enough to go after the one person who can recognizehim, right?" After a night of drinking with her friends Anna(Jovovich)decides to walk home alone. While walking she sees a murdertake place and is attacked by the "Tear-Jerked Jack" serial killer.After falling off a bridge she wakes up as the lone survivor. She alsowakes up with a disease called face-blindness, a condition whichaffects you from recognizing any faces...even your own. Lately it seemslike the lower budget movies are much better then the big blockbusters.This one is no exception. While this movie started to repeat itself tothe point of being annoying it was still tense and keeps you interestedand watching through out. Jovovich is becoming a very good actress andshe continues to build upon what she did in "Stone". A pretty originalidea that if it weren't for the repetition of the problem would havebeen an excellent movie. That said even with the repeating this isstill a very good movie that is very much worth seeing. Overall, asurprisingly good and tense thriller that deserves more of an audiencethat it will get. I give it a B+.Would I watch again? - I might, just to see if I can catch the clues.

I mean...really
The idea is nice, but every minute the film goes on you just feelthey're wasting your time. I mean...it's just stupid. I understand that she cannot recognize faces, but what about voices???Even in huge stress one can recognize voices of lovers, friends orfamily. What about style of talking? What about things we share only with our closest people? Couldn't she recognize any of that? It's an offence really and a waste of time. Only plus is MillaJovovich, that's why I voted 3/10. If you really like her, watch it. If not, do not!

If only this was better executed!
Anna Marchant (Milla Jovovich) is primary school teacher who haseverything one could need; a loving boyfriend and basically a goodlife. One day, on her way home she witnesses the murder of a woman. Theperpetrator turns out to be the notorious serial killer - "TearjerkJack/Killer" who cries over the dead women he has killed. He noticesAnna and attacks her. During the scuffle, Anna tips over the railingsand falls into the river while hitting her head and suffering aconcussion. When she wakes up in the hospital, she can no longerrecognize her friends faces. No face looks the same to her twice. Shesuffers from a real-life medical problem 'face blindness' and can'teven recognize her own self in the mirror. The real horrifying part isthat the killer is after her as she has seen his face. But Anna cannotdefend herself since she has no idea what anybody really look like.'Faces in the Crowd' had a highly intriguing premise which wasn'treally exploited. When one loses the ability to recognize faces, theirlife will be in turmoil naturally. Add a serial killer into the fray,you have a hot potboiler of a tale to tell. The film starts out with abang, but then whimpers and limps to the end. Well, the ending wasn'treally dreadful. But still the writing was far too uninspired, whilethe direction didn't add anything to help it. Of all the othercharacters, I found the woman doctor to be highly annoying. She givesphilosophical answers to difficult questions. I suspected who theserial killer would be halfway through the movie and it turned out Iwas right. Its bit of a cliché actually. I know many disagree with meon this, but I have to say Milla Jovovich is a fantastic actress andthis movie actually proved it. She gives one of the best actingperformances of her life even though the writing was lackluster. Shewas the sole shining gem in this movie and made it worth watching. ButI wouldn't recommend this movie to anybody unless you really love MillaJovovich.5/10

An interesting idea is completely lost in muddled confusion
The concept of this movie, the premise of 'face-blindness' is reallyinteresting. When major characters in the film suddenly change actorsbecause she can't remember what they looked like...that is a reallycool idea and premise. It is the only thing saving this dreadful messfrom being a complete zero. With this unique idea the story is lost andslapped together. The performances are uninspiring and the charactersare boring. It doesn't know whether its a mystery, a thriller, or anaction movie, or even a drama.Milla Jovovich is a Hollywood calibre star in my opinion. She is agreat actress, and has terrific chemistry...usually. In this film,which I can only imagine she did as a favour, she is a complete mess.She looks silly and acts like a B-Movie horror scream queen. Hercharacter is vapid and empty. Julian McMahon plays the tough and angrypolice detective who becomes involved with Jovovich. He has a solidcharacter and does a decent job but the story eventually bogs down hispotential and leaves his character empty. Its sort of hard to pin pointany other performances in the film because the characters change actorsso much. Her boyfriend Bryce seems to change actors a dozen times inthe film so its hard to say who played who the best. It doesn't mattermuch because the film is just so hard to follow and never finds anyspecific path.Director and writer Julien Magnat probably thinks he made some sort ofbrilliant artistic feat. In fact its a mess and I don't know how or whyit got made. It doesn't seem to suffer from being low budget and yetthe ideas in the movie get so skewed and I think the film tries to telltoo much and too many ideas all at once. I think it should have been athriller about a woman tracking a serial killer she can't identify butthat whole premise is completely lost. Skip this so called thrillerbecause its a definite miss. 5/10

Very interesting
This movie has a very interesting premise: A woman runs into a serialkiller roaming the streets of the city she lives in. She sees his face,but hits her head and suddenly she can't tell people apart anymore. Herboyfriend, her best friends or even an absolute stranger lookcompletely different every time she sees them. Because their faces areunrecognizable to her. Every man she sees could be the killer for allshe knows. And the killer knows what advantage he has.It could have been done a lot better, I must admit. The movie movesalong slowly and it might be difficult to keep your focus when watchingthis movie. But the interesting premise is worth it.The leading actors are also very good in their roles. Milla, JulianMcMahon and Michael Shanks are all strong actors. Sadly the lead menkeep changing in order to fit the premise and this does cause someproblems. Though it's very well done, the changing actors aren't asstrong in their acting as McMahon or Shanks. This ruins a lot.The positive aspect is that the viewer also get the faces mixed up. Ina normal film it would be a catastrophe, but it works so well in thismovie because we become as confused as the leading woman.All in all I liked the film. It wasn't perfect, but I doubt that anyonewill expect this movie to be just that. And the best part is that ifyou then watch another movie afterwards, you might just like me startquestioning every character's face.The movie sticks to you.

Faces in the Crows
I just couldn't follow this film at all. Milla is a FANTASTIC actress,but she didn't do this film any justice at all. No story, no real plot,too predictable way before its even happened. Twenty of us were at apre-viewing all of us except about 2 were saying what the hell was thatall about? Why on Earth did they choose such a great actress to play insuch trash of a movie. We were just glad we didn't pay to see it.Another movie I'd advise not to waste money on, wait till you can rentit from DVD store much cheaper. I give this 3 stars cause: 1 Milla was in it, great actress in ResidentEvil and Stone. 2 I didn't pay to see it. 3 I made a few new friendsafter it was over.And to answer someone who asked if Face Blindness is an actual disease,yes it is, look up Prosopagnosia.

No fresh visions here but watchable
An decent, suspenseful whodunit with exceptional performancesespecially from the solid lead actress Milla Jovanovich who takes abreak from fighting zombies for once and takes a stab at thispsychological thriller. The film takes the route of films like Blink,Dressed To Kill, Copycat, Eyes Of Laura Mars and Hideaway but a littleless brutal and more pedestrian but still kept me intrigued and on theedge of my seat figuring out who is the killer. It has minor jumpscares here and there but the premise probably looked more terrifyingon paper than it really ends up being on screen but it has it's momentsbut just didn't take risks the kind that lifetime movies of the weekdon't take but it's definitely better looking and polished. The film asa whole was just too easy of a watch and never was it downrightgripping enough to be memorable but just good enough to feel good aboutpicking to watch it and I appreciate the classic approach but thesedays you need to up the game to make a lasting impression and this didnot. Overall it's a likable thriller with a pretty happy ending thatgot the job done but didn't really breakaway to cause much of a stirwith it's audience but Milla made a great effort and is alwaysmesmerizing to watch and this is one of her better performances. Wortha watch. 6.4 out of 10

Jennifer 8 rehash
Major spoilers for both Jennifer 8 and Faces in the Crowd.Jennifer 8 (1992): Cop on the edge falls in love with a blind girl,whose roommate was murdered by a serial killer. The killer turns out tobe a cop on the force who hates blind people, because his abusivemother was blind. In the climax, the killer is fooled by a trap, as thewidow of a slain cop gets her vengeance by shooting him, whileimpersonating the blind witness.Faces in the Crowd (2011): Cop falls in love with a girl who has faceblindness. She's the only witness to a serial killer, but she doesn'tknow what his face looks like. The killer turns out to be a cop on theforce. In the climax, the witness is fooled by a trap, as the killerimpersonates both her ex-boyfriend and her new, cop boyfriend. Her copboyfriend shoots the killer, but is mortally wounded and dies.Is it a complete match-up? No. In Faces, the cop isn't "on the edge" --just a bit overworked. In Jennifer 8, the love interest is not amaterial witness, whereas the love interest in Faces is. In Jennifer 8,the serial killer is specifically targeting blind people, while theserial killer in Faces is an opportunistic rapist/murderer. The climaxis also reversed. In Jennifer 8, it's a victim who sets a trap, not thekiller.Could this be complete coincidence? Yes, of course. Many of the tropesused in Faces are significantly older than Jennifer 8, and they couldbe easily considered to be well-established clichés in the serialkiller genre. However, it's difficult not to keep thinking to yourself,"Hey, this really reminds me a lot of Jennifer 8..." while you'rewatching Faces.In the end, I found the similarities between the two movies to be verydistracting. Even if Faces didn't remind me of Jennifer 8, I'd still bea bit harsh on the story, given how many serial killer clichés it hitson the way through the plot. Speaking of distracting, there are somereally annoying product placements, though it's nowhere near as jarringas Will Smith slobbering over a pair of sneakers in I, Robot. On theplus side, the acting and directing are both competent, though neitherreally shines. There isn't really much gore or nudity, despite thesubject matter, so if you're looking for a psychological thriller thatavoids descending into outright horror, this is a good bet. With afemale lead, a romance side-plot, and some Sex & The City-stylecarousing during the girls' night out, I'd say this is the kind ofmovie that might appeal to women, though I think these elements wereintended more to appeal to women dragged to this movie, rather than toattract a female demographic to it.

Could Have Been a Good Movie
The elementary school teacher Anna Marchant (Milla Jovovich) lives withher boyfriend Bryce (Michael Shanks) in a nice apartment and every nowand then she meets her best friends Francine (Sarah Wayne Callies) andNina (Valentina Vargas) to drink and talk. When Anna is crossing abridge to meet Bryce, she sees the infamous serial-killer Tearjerk Jackkilling a woman. Anna runs but she is attacked by the killer and shefalls off the bridge and hits her head on a structure.Anna stays in coma for a week and when she awakes, she learns that shehad a brain damage followed by Prosopagnosia, a disorder of faceperception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while theability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. The policedetective Sam Kerrest (Julian McMahon) unsuccessfully tries to forceAnna to remember the face of the serial-killer. Now the serial-killerknows that Anna has seen his face, but she is incapable to evenrecognize Bryce and her close friends."Faces in the Crowd" could have been a good movie, but unfortunately isjust an average thriller. This is the first time that I hear anythingabout Prosopagnosia, and this theme could have been better explored. The gorgeous Sarah Wayne Callies, from "Prison Break" and "The WalkingDead", wears an awful haircut. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Visões de um Crime" ("Visions of a Crime")

A real turkey of a film!
Crikey, but this is bad.Where to start? An already slim plot, stretched so thin it'sridiculous. Quite a few unintentional laugh-out-loud scenes. Lazywriting, *very* predictable bad-guy. It's actually a pity this film wasn't a little bit worse - it's just afew scenes away from being the next "The Room", but the boredom is justtoo much.If you're a *huge* Jovovich fan, maybe, just maybe you can get throughit, but you will be checking your phone/watch/shoe-laces for any morselof entertainment for long periods of this mis-fire!You have been warned!PS What is the deal with films getting tagged as "Horror" these days?Might as well have classified it as "Cookery". Seriously, whocategorised this? Is it a ploy by the studio to recoup their$15,000,000 budget on this turkey?

Interesting premise, poorly done
It was an interesting premise, losing facial recognition, and couldhave been a really good story line, but overall it was very poorlywritten and executed. Too many situations were forced, made to fit themovie rather than actually being a realistic part of the story-line.And the main characters made really poor decisions multiple timesthroughout the movie - the ones that make you think "really? comeon..." The characters that played Bryce all looked similar, so I hadtrouble telling them apart - maybe I've lost facial recognition too.Overall it was pretty hokey - a definite B-movie thriller. I wouldthough like to see a good movie with the same premise.

An interesting premise sadly poorly executed
The ratio of what's right to what's wrong in this movie is somethinglike 1:5, with the only thing that the director and the script gotright was the notion of a woman losing her ability to distinguishfaces, even those near and dear to her. What went wrong is just abouteverything you can think of: acting, plot, the "shocking" identity ofthe "serial" killer...Milla Jovovich's character suffers a traumatic head injury whilsttrying to flee a particularly heinous serial killer who's terrorizingwomen. She then loses her ability to recognize faces, including thoseof her boyfriend and best friends. What's interesting is the way thefaces of these people change. What backfired is that some of thesechanges are so subtle that you don't even realize that the faces havechanged till you think about it 5 minutes later and then have to rewindthe movie to confirm. Case in point: her Latin friend Nina who managesto look the same in every scene that she's in. What's even weirder isthat somehow the face of the detective she meets remains the same, anomen that leads to a tired cliché.The acting is very sub par. Milla Jovovich hasn't convinced me thatshe's a good actress and the shining example is when she's in theneurologist's office and manages to recognize the flawed glass stone,which wasn't hard to do given that there's only one in the whole bunch.Milla's facial motions as she "recognizes" the stone are so bad Iwondered if this was her first ever movie role. Even worse is JulianMcMahon who starts of by being a complete insensitive idiot in thefirst meeting with Milla's victimized character. Normally a policedetective would employ tact and manners to make a person feel calm andrelaxed but this is the opposite...and he hasn't got any facts aboutwhat happened to Milla, which makes you wonder what sort of detectivehe is.The plot of the serial killer was just plain stupid. A guy who wants toplay games with the one person who could possibly identify him? There'sno surprise as to his identity and you can even make a simple correctguess before the half way point. You don't even have to see the movieto make the guess. Just close your eyes and let the answer come to you.All in all, not a movie to recommend. Bad acting, bad plot and just abad waste of time.

kotatsu
I have labeled this review Kotatsu for a good reason, Kotatsu are thoseJapanese tables and just like them this movie is shallow and wooden. Ilove Mila's work and cannot fault her performance in this movie buteverybody else is pretty much terrible. The writing is over simplifiedand under thought out, pop psychology meets Jerry springer. Thetherapist tries to be powerful and dramatic but just comes across likea comic parody. It was really an effort to get through this movie withits awful dialog and annoying music not to mention the makeupdepartment appears to have obtained its facial hair appliances from theplug hole in a hotel shower. The movie used obvious devices to attemptto fool the audience into mistaking one of the main character was thekiller (and occasionally one of the secondary characters), sorry filmmakers, I'm not five years old, I like most of your potential audienceI have seen a great many of these films and I've seen this sleight ofhand/smoke and mirrors stuff before, many times. Not to say that I'mgreat at always spotting the bad guy, far from it, but in this film hemight as well have been wearing a hat with the word "murderer" on it.I'll leave you with one last, unaccountable observation (MILD SPOILER).I'm not geneticist but how likely is it that two people with very darkhair would have a blonde child?!

Woman is injured and suffers from face blindness.
Your personal rating for this movie depends a lot of why and how youwatch it. For the rather simple underlying story, about a serialkiller, it isn't that good. But for how it depicts "face blindness" andhow one might learn to overcome that handicap, it is pretty good. Ienjoyed it. Milla Jovovich is teacher Anna Marchant. As the story opens we see thatshe in fact has a very keen memory, for both names and faces. But oneevening after meeting her friend she is walking on a bridge closed formaintenance and she spots a crime in progress, the serial killer isupon his latest victim. She sees him, but trying to get away falls intothe river, hitting her head in the process. In a coma for several days,she wakes up with "face blindness", the inability to distinguishsubtelties that allow us to recognize a particular face from thethousands we have seen.Part of the ensuing movie involves police working with her to try torecall the face of the murderer, since she is the only one alive tohave ever seen him. The other part of the story is how she is able torecognize her boyfriend, Bryce, by using clues, such as how he isdressed when he leaves in the morning, what tie he has on, etc.When the scene is from the perspective of the audience, not sufferingfrom face blindness, we always see specific actors playing specificcharacters. But when the scene is through the eyes of Anna, the faceseems to change each time she sees it anew. In fact, in the credits itshowed 15 different actors playing her boyfriend, Bryce. Othercharacters are played by up to 6 or 8 different actors.So, as a crime story, I found it just "so-so", but as a novelty of howface-blindness might affect someone, I found it very interesting, andalso from the movie-making aspect.SPOILERS: Eventually with the help of hypnosis Anna was able topartially recreate a vision of the face, and it turned out to be apoliceman helping the main investigator. She also was eventually ableto return to teaching, in a small community on a nearby island wherethere were very few students.

Bad Character! and Bad Examples!................
The idea of the movie is not bad but the story line is very poor. Thecharacter of Anna Marchant(Milla Jovovich) in the movie is very bad.ifshe is happy with her boyfriend then why she have to hang out with her2 friend to the club looking at other guys??,and especially when sheslept so easily with the detective Sam Kerrest(Julian McMahon) aftershe got fight with her boyfriend Bryce(it was her fault because shelied to him and by mistake she kiss another guy in thediscotheque)/cheap character and showing a bad example to the publicespecially woman. So overall the movie just want to expose AnnaMarchant's ability to see a changing faces of the crowd thats all!,It'sa wasting of time.

Nice premise, horrible execution
The opening montage is artful and interesting, and as you're watchingthe movie, you probably are interested in the premise, that life wouldbe very complicated if you couldn't recognize faces any longer. So yousit back and prepare for something that might be along the lines of"Insomnia", an thriller with a real foundation in psychologicalmanipulation, with twists and surprises to keep you guessing.And after that opening montage, it's pretty much all just clichés andtired plot devices and stale acting. We've seen the leads do muchbetter than this. The 'filler' scenes are so trite they feel like theywere written and shot in one take. And the 'action' scenes are shot ina way that does engage us at all. And as for the plot itself... have weever seen a woman fleeing a villain and trip before? Have we seen theprotagonist stuck in a situation where the hero has to rush to save herbut he can't get to her quickly? And finally, the main crux of thefilm, the face blindness, is interesting for about three minutes, andthen it gets incredibly stale, and yet we have to sit through anotherhour+ of it. Give this story to Chris Nolan and you'd have somethingfantastic - but this incarnation of it is really not worth wasting thetime on.
