A singularly awful movie. Very few films have the awful power of "Façade". There is evidence some form of satire was attempted. It's a botched job. Eric Roberts (as businessman Colin Wentworth) meanders through the proceedings in a hopefully inebriated state. The obligatory "hot chick" moment is over quickly, blessedly; if you're watching for that reason. The soundtrack rips off "Strangers in the Night" (doesn't anyone own the copyright on that song?). Quite possibly, this is the worst film ever made with Eric Roberts. One would certainly have to hope so, anyway. The credits end with a 1997 production date, so this may have been unreleased for a number of years. Really, they needn't have bothered. * Facade (1997) Carl Colpaert ~ Eric Roberts, Camilla Overbye Roos, Angus Macfadyen

This movie is NOT a thriller or an action movie (unlike IMDB itself categorizes it); it's a dark comedy, in the truest sense of the word. SPOILER: So, if you thought otherwise, you must have seen only the first few minutes of the movie. As time goes by, however, you become aware that things don't quite "click" in the sense of a real thriller. It's not just a simple murder with dark, commercial motivations, no, things start to be whackier by the minute, and at a certain point even the most stubborn spectator will burst in a laughter, giving up any hope that they'll enjoy an action-packed thriller, giving up any hope that the police will catch the bad guys.This film was so brilliantly directed that the true nature of the film just gradually becomes apparent. The actors did a remarkable job, as well. The only regrettable thing would be the usage of the "funny music" by the end of the movie. The director did a great job of keeping a "straight face" throughout all the hilariously unbelievable situations, without resorting to any external "indicator" (musical or otherwise) to signal to the viewer "it's funny, laugh!". Too bad he gave in by the end. It's a very minor imperfection, though, and I would warmly recommend this movie to the intelligent and curious film fan. It's a one-of-a-kind, and it's done well.

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?
