True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
going to see friends at a horror convention, came to a table where friends were talking and looking at the films that were on the table, i picked up Faces and the gentleman behind the table explained the film to me ....seeing that a few friends of mine were actually in the film. i was intrigued. So i bought my copy and then it went to everyone and got signed ... went home and watched it... TOTALLY enjoyed the film...
This is an awesome flick! I highly recommend it! Props to Tom Ryan and all who were involved! The camera work was great, the creepy music was awesome, and the performances were top of the line. I especially liked seeing Joe Parascand who I'm familiar with from his work from Ryan Scott Weber's films.
Down on his luck ex-con Frank Walker (a fine and credible performance by writer/director Tom Ryan) has his life take a drastic turn for the worse after he befriends obnoxious loudmouth drunk Charlie Downey (well played with winning aplomb by Paul Gmittor).Ryan firmly grounds the rather familiar, yet still effective and engrossing premise in a plausibly grim'n'gritty working class reality (Frank has great difficulty in securing a job and has fallen behind on paying the rent for his apartment), makes highly inventive use of sound, keeps the stark and compelling story moving at a brisk pace, and maintains a tough downbeat tone throughout. The excellent acting by the tip-top cast holds the picture together, with especially stand-out work from Edward X. Young as hard-nosed shipping tycoon Henry Benson, Deana Demko as sweet and smitten neighbor Beth, Joe Parascand as the distraught Detective Jack Donnelly, Caroline Pozycki as perky barmaid Connie, and Tom Schorr as gruff landlord Jose. Christian Santiago's moody cinematography and Andrew LaBruno's brooding score further add to the overall gloomy atmosphere. Moreover, Ryan deserves extra praise for avoiding certain clichés intrinsic to the genre (for example, there's no hackneyed back story for Frank revealing that he's the toxic product of past abuse) as well as for ending everything on a genuinely surprising and unexpected note. Basically a dark and disturbing character study of a lonely and troubled soul, this one packs quite a fierce punch.
A great movie to snuggle with your girl. In my opinion an old school scare flick. Friends and,I really enjoyed this movie. A real flashback to a time movies like these were at every movie theater. Great storyline , makes you need to see part 2 ! A twisted ending everyone will enjoy. Without giving too much away , the title hints at what your in for. Frank is an awesome character, he makes you feel for him even cheer him on. The film was filled with locations that fit his character very well, down to the car he drove and, the clothes all the details. The movie had a very dark warm feel, I wasn't expecting. Gave it a nine for the film was put together very well, I was entertained even surprised. Almost a ten, to be left wanting to see more is a good thing however , for me not so good. In a way I'm saving some for Faces 2 , so to be fair a 9 1/2
