Would "The Face of Fear" make a good movie?

Post by Jsovermyer »

"The Fsce of Fear" is a thriller with a daughter kidnapped, a father who would do anything to rescue her, and detectives who work hard to solve the case. I think it has everything needed for a good movie. What do you think?

I think the plot has potential for a good movie adaptation. However, reading a simple plot synopsis like that automatically makes me think of the movie "Taken." I think that as long as it's done originally and doesn't come off as a "Taken" knock-off, it could make an incredibly good movie.

I agree, it does sound very much like Taken! But it's definitely a premise that would make a good movie.

As far as I have read the sample on the Amazon, I have not pictured it in my mind. The narration style was fictional( that I like) and not too much action packed, sorry I don't find it fit for a movie.
Maybe I could relate it if I had read it fully.

Yes, Ido think that it would make a good movie. In fact, if you replace the role of the father with that of a sister, you would have the script for a 2014 movie called Gone.

Yes of course it can be adopted in the form of a movie. It is a good thriller story having the actions about murder mysteries so it should be given the form of a movie. Although all the murder mysteries can be converted into the movies but this book is best for the movie construction.

Though I can't read horror books. But I'll lyk watching its movie. For the question: can this book be good for movie? I can't say that because I have read the book.

The plot of the book is impressive, movie adaptation won't be difficult. And it'll make a good movie.

I only read a few pages of the sample, so I can't really say, but I enjoy thrillers and crime movies so, maybe :D
