Penultimate in Implausible

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2006)

This film defies description. How it made into production with major Hollywood names in and behind it is beyond comprehension. I couldn't begin to list its faults. Even if we suspend disbelief enough to allow for a "revolutionary" procedure in which a doctor transplants a face (complete with the eyes -- reattaching the optic nerve, I suppose -- teeth, jaw/cheek bones, and vocal chords, et al, though leave no scars, how can we believe that a wife would forget what her husband's body looked and felt like. The absurdities are only to be out done by the action film clichÃ©s: A staggering number of bullets fly between the main characters, yet somehow none of them fail to connect -- over and over again. Car and boat chases, fireball explosions, diving/falling through glass, on and on... it never seems to end.
