Anyday, everyday. It would make a good thriller that might even look better than it reads.

Absolutely! In fact the plot of the story would make the best movie for me to watch. Besides, movies do turn out to be a little more exciting than books sometimes

I believe "The Face of Fear" is too overwritten to become a movie, there's too many movies much like it for it to be a loved one including.

Yes, I absolutely think it would make an excellent movie. With the characters and the twists, I would love to see it on the big screen.

I think it would make a great movie. The multi-faceted dynamics make good ingredients for this: the loving father-daughter relationship, the privileged daughter-best friend escapades, the daughter - father's employee tryst; the picturesque towns and ferry transport. With the kidnapping, the tweets, the murders, the villains, the vigilante, the local police and the FBI interactions. Yes, the movie would be riveting!

I myself would definitely love to see a movie adaptation. There are always going to be movies with similar plots, so while I understand some might be turned off saying it's too close to the film "Taken," I wouldn't be too bent out of shape about it. There's a lot they could do with the casting and the ambience to really set it apart from other films. Directors are probably the most crucial tool in whether a movie is a make or a break, so as long as they were passionate, dedicated, and worked well with the source material then I think it'd make a great movie.

The plot is unique enough to be a movie! Given the right director and crew, I think it would be a hit!

Yes I agree with you dear. This book would make great dramatic movie. The love of a father and the extend he would go to recover her loving child. The work of our security service to ensure we are safe and the crime of kidnapping. It would really make a nice movie. I would even prefer TV series.

The plot is rich with all the capabilities to be formed into an awesome movie. So I totally agree with the topic.

I immediately thought of Taken! With a similar plot, I don't see why not.

I think it would make a great movie. I loved the scenes and the characters. But it would be a real downer if the movie changed things in the book.
