TV PROGRAM | FRANCE 3 | 9:05 p.m. France 3 is offering the TV film “La Vengeance sans face” this Tuesday evening. Fortunately, our replay brigade is watching…
This is the story of Marie, an airport executive. During a rafting trip, she meets Maxime, a skydiving and wingsuit enthusiast. However, she is unaware that with his gang, Maxime is looting cash transport at airports, and that they are preparing a robbery. Marie is therefore in great danger… To ensure that she will not speak, Sofia, leader of the gang, sabotages her parachute during an initiation. That’s really not very nice.
Fortunately, Marie, who then fell 2000 meters, miraculously survived. A year later, disabled, she took refuge in her parents’ house in Gap, her hometown. Until the day Sofia arrives like a flower, who thinks she is dead and does not recognize her. Marie decides to take revenge by luring the thugs into a new heist. But that’s without Luc Ferraz, a BRI officer looking for the source who informed the gang. Marie has the ideal profile…
What is worth Faceless Vengeance ? The opinions are more than mixed
This breathtaking scenario is that of the TV movie Faceless Vengeancedirected by Claude-Michel Rome, with Philippe Bas, seen in many productions of the genre, the Belgian actress Aurore Delplace, and Anna D’Annunzio in the main roles. But this little music perhaps reminds you of something and that’s normal: France 3 is offering this Tuesday, January 14 at 9:05 p.m., a rebroadcast of this fiction initially released in February 2023.
At the time, Faceless Vengeance had, moreover, not really appealed, with viewers pointing out on the Allo Ciné site a “completely eccentric” story, “strewn every 3 minutes with implausibilities”, or a “TV film full of incoherence”. If some will welcome “spectacular scenes” thanks to the parachute jumps and a “thriller” that is sometimes “intense” or “breathtaking”, many will advise avoiding this “pitiful turnip”, “predictable” and without “any interest”.
Even the always very measured Télé Loisirs struggles to hide its lack of enthusiasm about this rebroadcast, believing that “if Faceless Vengeance is not among the best detective TV films offered on France Télévisions, it is nevertheless entertaining and will appeal to fans of French fiction.” We understand.
