Although I'm not sure this film works as a thriller, it is an effective character study. Babee is the reclusive son of a late television star who lives alone in a large, somewhat decrepit, Hollywood mansion. His only friend is a beautiful young neighbor who grew up with him. His life changes drastically when a troubled couple (Rutger Hauer and Virginia Madsen) moves in next door. Hauer's amoral character, Keith Miller, decides to tutor Babee in the finer things in life (drinking, gambling and women). After Miller is severely brain damaged in an accident, Babee becomes his caretaker. When Miller's enemies start dying, however, Babee becomes convinced that Miller is faking his injury. Although most people could predict the ending around the beginning of the movie, "Lying in Wait" is well made and the acting is very good.
Why didn't this movie win all the Oscars? It was by far the best-written, best acted film that I saw last year. Michael Douglas gives the finest performance of his career as a fifty-something professor with an adolescent attitude who reluctantly becomes a father figure to a troubled talented student. The movie is never predictable, the plot is hilarious and yet the characters seem completely real. Everyone has to see this movie.
After reading some reviews and the other viewers' comments, I wasn't sure what I would think of "Split Second." After seeing it, however, I have to say that it was just terrific. It's a clever, funny sci fi movie with great characters.
The movie is set in London in the near future. Global warming has caused the Thames to rise and everyone walks around in a foot or so of filthy water. Pollution is so bad that the city is dark all the time. The rats have become huge, vicious and ubiquitous. (Sounds funny so far, right? With President W, this future may be closer than we think.)
Rutger Hauer plays Harley Stone a heavily armed cop who is hunting for his partner's killer. He feels particularly guilty about his partner's death because he had been having an affair with the man's wife. (Kim Cattrell) When it becomes clear that the same killer murdered Stone's partner and a number of other victims, the police department assigns Dick Dirkin, played by Neil Duncan, as Stone's partner. Dirkin's views on the occult, comic books and death, and his relationship with Stone, give the movie its funniest moments.
From a woman's perspective, Hauer is gorgeous and Duncan is cute as a button. Wonderful movie.
