Faces in the Crowd

Faces in the Crowd (2011) is a crime thriller starring Milla Jovovich that you can watch online on iFILM. Schoolteacher Anna Marchant stumbles onto a murder and barely survives an attack by a serial killer nicknamed the Reaper.

The fall off a bridge leaves her with a rare disorder, prosopagnosia: Anna can no longer recognize faces. The moment someone steps out of her sight, their features vanish from her memory for good. Her husband, her best friend, the detective on the case, even her own reflection greet her as strangers each morning. And somewhere among them hides the killer, who knows the one witness can't identify him but can be hunted down herself. Julian McMahon and Michael Shanks round out the cast.

Director Julien Magnat builds the suspense straight out of Anna's condition: like her, the audience never knows which shifting face to trust. The concept outpaces the execution, yet Jovovich carries the whole thing. It suits fans of small-scale thrillers with an unusual hook and paranoia that won't let go before the end.
