Supreme Cmdr Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 I was really looking forward to this one and found it quite enjoyable. As always, Dennis Quaid and Sharon Stone give some very strong performances. And lets not even talk about Stephen Dorf, who as always, plays mean to the hilt. A nice Hitchcockian type suspense thriller 9/10
Charles Lindsey Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Well phooey, I got caught not checking. Apologies. I didn't like it as much. 7/10
Supreme Cmdr Posted October 13, 2003 Author Report Posted October 13, 2003 LMAO!!! Earlier this morning when I killed the other thread, you had given it a 5/10. Maybe if I delete this thread, you'll give a 9/10 next time around?
Charles Lindsey Posted October 14, 2003 Report Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah well you liked it so much I decided I couldn't trash it that bad. Honestly, on reflection, it wasn't terrible; it was just very straight forward . I like a little bit of a guessing game. Just not brain twisting guessing. It would be a good rental. It starts out very slowly and stays slow. The bad guy insinuates himself into the family and helps tremendously without being creepy. You can't have a non creepy bad guy . The only part I "got" ( as in setting up for future reference) was when Dennis Quaid visited the daddy in the nursing home. Well it had already been stated the daddy was a SOB so when the daddy thought Dennis Quaid was his son and cussed him (the son/ bad guy) it just made the son/bad guy seem pathetic. Which just set up the bar disaggreement as more sour grapes and pathetic hanging on to the property son. It wasn't till the horse died that my eyebrows raised. Very straightforward and predictable.
