Alternative title: A Movie to Die From
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...
