Member Rating:  
Horror-meister George Romero directs this thriller about a 99-pound weakling who strikes back at everyone who has wronged him in the past. Henry Creedlow (Jason Flemyng) works at a fashion mag called Bruiser for the short-fused, dictatorial Miles Styles (Peter Stormare). Henry spends much of his day fantasizing about killing himself and killing others, particularly his nagging wife Janine (Nina Garbiras). After learning that Miles is shagging his wife and that his stockbroker best friend swindled him out of a stack of money, Henry wakes up the following day to learn that his face has mysteriously been rendered white and featureless. Soon, like a mime with bloodlust, Henry violently dispatches with everyone in his life, save Miles' wife, whose paintings may be responsible for his sudden transformation. This film was screened at the 2000 Berlin Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

    If you like Romero films, this isn't bad. The plot transitions are a little shaky but the general story idea is okay.

    I must first disagree with another reviewer, who stated that this was a great movie. The whole idea of a person's face becoming a white mask might have been interesting, if there was an explanation for how this occurred. For example, was black magic involved? The pacing of the movie was painfully slow and the idea was not that original either. Overall, this was not that exciting and not that engaging.
