Troubles begin for professional thief Ray and his associates when a carefully planned £2 million heist nets only a fraction of the intended sum. But worse is to come when it becomes apparent that the gang has a traitor in its midst.(from Radio Times billing Monday 5 April 1999) Face is a thriller of good ideas which never quite succeeds in delivering the punch it should. It is a movie about betrayal, paranoia, loyalty, the morality of old-style and new-style criminals (faces). It involves some shocking moments, both physically and emotionally. And despite fine performances from all the cast it ends up feeling like a routine crime thriller.
