Boring as hell
terrible acting from otherwise great actors, pacing was off, story was crap. How this can be compared to Lock stock is beyond me.

shareNo its not boring it's a great movie. Up there amongst the rest of British classic gangster films.
shareI'm sorry, but I don't think I could disagree more with your view on this movie.
I wouldn't compare "Face" to neither "Lock, Stock and Two Smokin' Barrels" nor "The Usual Suspects" to which it has also been compared by others. "Face" is quite different from both these movies, and if you watch it in comparison with either one of them, you'll be sorely disappointed, IMO.
But if you let it stand alone, "Face" is in fact quite a well made movie. It is well written and well directed, and in my opinion at least, the actors are all giving solid performances. Robert Carlyle and Steve Waddington are especially great as Ray and Stevie.
Personally, I rate this movie 8/10.
