Great role by fletcher, however the film was drawn out a bit and the the ending of the film left me wondering what the final outcome was. Overall very watchable but was let down by the 'non conclusion' end
The only reason I gave this a 3 star is because of the acting, the story itself is a 1 star or less because its bland and builds very slowly. His wife starts problems for no reason but the neighbor girl script is pretty decent because people in abusive relationships are usually finding excuses to be with them or thinking they'll change. So take my word and ignore this title even if you're a fan of the actors. They all do a great job but it's ruined by the story.
This is the best acting performance I've ever seen William Fichtner do. And let me say first, this film is not what I was expecting- but I loved it. It's marketed as a thriller, but it's definitely more of a slow burn drama about a man who is unhappy with his life and becomes infatuated/obsessed with his young female neighbor who has her own problems. Never seen this actress before but wow, she's incredible. And somehow Michael Rosenbaum's character is both vile and charming simultaneously. Highly recommend watching this as a fantastic piece of film, acting, characters, and storyline. Just don't go in thinking it's some crazy thriller movie.
Modern audience wants violence, twists and more, with this You don't get that So many reviews give it a 1 !
Really unfair, yes it's a slow moving film but its still quite deep or sleep to the rest..
The acting is good and you can see where it's going, the people who knock it are probably better off with Marvel films ! Cause this sensitive story doesn't carry any weapons, just a slice of thought.
Ok, it's not a Oscar winner but it holds a lot truths about people growing older, and it's much closer to true life than robot-Men blasting around the universe.
At the bottom it's asking me if I am revealing any spoilers? Let me tell you I really wish I had a spoiler to reveal, like in ending.
I was pleasantly surprised by William Fitchners character. He is usually the rogue FBI guy or the bad guy etc. etc. but in this movie he was very mild mannered very shy very meek I have never seen this side to him before. I loved this part for him and he played it beautifully. What I didn't like was not knowing what happened after he sat down and looked at his tomato. I didn't know If he was suicidal I didn't know if he was going to go back to the house and say hey I was defending myself or if his wife was going to come in and be the wife that she is or the Alex blah blah blah or if The car salesman was going to possibly show up in a skirt with a wig because you know he can pull that off really well. I'm just angry because I'm sick and tired of movies that don't have an ending to them or an ending that makes any sense William Fechner, You are awesome you played your part beautifully it was really nice to see you as a good guy🐾💕
