The Man Without a Face Reviews
GIBSON'S REAL BRAVE HEART
Mel Gibson took quite a risk when he directed and starred in this affecting, poignant look at male bonding. He surrendered his movie-star looks and plays a deformed man, whose biggest "action" scene is holding back his barking dog. Nonetheless, MAN WITHOUT A FACE is a triumph for Gibson; it is a moving, thoughtful examination at prejudice, love and growing up. He is matched in his performance by the stunning debut of Nick Stahl (who has not equaled this performance subsequently). Stahl is perfect as the young boy whose need for a true father figure propels him to seek Gibson's guidance in preparing for his acceptance into a boarding school. The usually daft Margaret Whitton offers an understated and effective performance as his oft-married mother and Gaby Hoffman is good as his young stepsister. ALthough much smaller in scope than many of Gibson's subsequent films, I found MAN WITHOUT A FACE much more enjoyable than the bombastic BRAVEHEART, and it is an underappreciated achievement of Gibson's career.
The Man Without a Face-Mel Gibson
A well done movie. Good story about the truths of how people will jump to conclusions without finding out for themselves what is really gonig on. "Pay attention to what and who your kids are talking to people!!" I liked the acting in the movie all around and thought Mr. Gibson did a great job putting it all together.
