Peter Rasmussen Denmark's rating
This movie is certainly not what I expected. As someone else wrote on this site, you expect to see a horror/thriller movie like The Haunting or The Others. This is not the case, the movie is nothing more than a classic good guys/bad guy thriller. There is nothing new or fresh about this movie, you do not have to watch very much of it before you can guess the plot. The scenes, that are supposed to be scary, are not at all, because they have been done so many times before. The cast and the acting is OK. Dennis Quaid is great, except maybe saying "Oh my God" too many times. He could have easily handled a much more demanding part. The same thing can be said about Stephen Dorff. Sharon Stone though does not seem to be trying very hard. Juliette Lewis is great as Dale Massies' sexy girlfriend, but my question is: what is she doing here? She is not important to the story and does nothing more than look and act sexy. Maybe they cast her to give the audience something interesting to look at.
This is one of the absolute best and funniest movies of the 90'es, and it is one of my favourites. Even though it is only 9 years old, I would call it a classic. It will certainly become a classic and will amuse people for many years to come. The soundtrack is excellent, whenever I put this movie on I find myself sitting through the end credits to listen to a song like "Crash". This movie is brilliant entertainment. It is maybe not an artistic masterpiece, but then again, how many great comedies are?
This is a movie some people will hate, while others will just love it. I belong to the latter. This movie is highly entertaining and funny, even though also highly predictable and full of clichés. The plot is a mixture of things you have seen many times before, except for a few details. One of those being the rather strange and mysterious but very funny servant, brilliantly played by John Turturro. To some this movie will probably seem stupid and meaningless, they will probably say that there is nothing new in it and that it is too predictable. But, to me, that is exactly what makes it a relaxing, funny feel-good movie. It is also romantic, warm and charming, it has an important message and the comedy is brilliantly made.
