Advantages: Some decent moments, somehow kept me watching until the end Disadvantages: Mostly really bad across the board

Face of Terror follows Nick Harper as he tries to find his missing sister in Barcelona.

Advantages: none really Disadvantages: poor acting, blatant copying of plot, shall I go on?
