Review of Faceless

Faceless (I) (2021)
7/10
Terrific FX - less so plot
18 October 2021

What we've got here is your standard unbalanced flick.

Fabulous make up FX (enhanced digitally) and solid performances are swamped by an amnesia/medical conspiracy plot line that bites off more than it can chew within its running time.

Kicking off with a Jacobs Ladder style 'is this real? ' strand that it abruptly drops to focus on the 'who am I? ' and 'what's going on? '.

Unfortunately, we then get a 'who's she? ', 'who's he? ' and 'WHO'S HE???' thrown into the mix and the whole thing goes off kilter.

A noble failure though, over ambition being its main issue.

It gets an extra star from me just because Alex Essoe is in it. What? I don't make the rules.
