"Face" is a gritty, bloody, visceral tale of a motley crew of professional robbers led by Carlyle and what happens when someone systematically steals their ill gotten gains. Carlyle and others deliver powerful performances in this drab, bleak action/drama about treachery, larceny, retribution, and the disintegration of a gang of thieves. Save a few plot holes, "Face" manages solid entertainment for those who can overlook the fact that the protagonist/hero is a thief and a killer.
