Living in Peril

I don't understand why is there so bad reviews. This movie thrilled me from begin to end. This is good written story, I usually suppose the end or the killer, but there was only in 50%. The civil acting of Rob Lowe is good, James Belushi played here an unusual role and funny is a part of Dean Stockwell as apartment manager. I think he enjoyed this part. Sometimes this movie is black comedy, but the end is quite brutal than previous parts of movie, I think it could be shorter (classic long final fight between bad/good boy).

I thought it was a very thrilling movie. The most people that don't enjoy those kind of movies are semi-blind and used to see only those 8.0+ mainstream movies. This isn't like that. This actually has a different vibe to it. If you truly are a thriller fan you will love it.

This film was recently shown on Cable and the opening 5 minutes is terrific....the music is compelling...setting the scene for a person about to be trapped in a series of perilous incidents...... (anyone who has had one of those days when everything goes wrong can identity with this film!!!) I found at times there were elements of Hitchcock-like suspense with an excellent performance by the lead actor. There are superb performances by the actors playing the apartment manager, the wife, the prostitute and the performance by the german neighbour is compellingly good. I was absorbed by the whole movie with its first rate direction and script. It is a black comedy....comedy drama...and the only dissappointment is the actor playing the part of Harrison...who seems half-hearted throughout.......deduct 2 marks for that but its still an 8 out of 10. rbrb.

I thought that the movie was well done and very suspenseful. Rob Lowe did a very good job in this movie, there was never a dull moment in this film. It is filled with twists and turns that kept me rivotted to my seat. I did not lose interest for one minute.

Even though LIVING IN PERIL has got a remarkable **swedish** feeling over it it S*U*C*K*S BIG TIME!

It has got simularities to just-as-awful CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED like so many other movies throughout Hollywood's history.

1. Laughable horrors. Nobody ever thought that white headed children was frightening, nor rats.

2. Stupid script, aka IDIOT-POLICE and A SILLY BAD-GUY.

and the classic one

3. ACTORS THAT ARE FUN TO WATCH JUST BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE THEM SERIOUS!!!! Just take Rob Lowe and James Belushi! And I thought the mix with Christopher Reeve, Mark Hamill, and Kirstey Alley was fun!

Otherwise we have great actors like Dean Stockwell and Earl Boen getting awfully thrown away.

Allow be to bring out a 3/10
