The Incident Reviews

Based on a true story, Larry Peerce movie can be divided neatly into two sections. The first one serves as a presentation of a series of very different characters with their unique history in tow. The second part, more broadly, we show them again but now grouped in the same New York subway car.

In order not to reveal anything important to the plot, one can say that everything that happens in suburban development is more or less logical of different personal attitudes to a situation that is presumed to limit or at least, quite embarrassing. In this respect, it reminded me of "12 Angry Men" (Sidney Lumet, 1957) as the study of personalities and, if not deepen both the psychology of the characters, the drama of the action is equally or more virulent.

Is set to value the excellent work of his interpreters, when the movie lent itself to overacting, and good planning in the script and the painstaking work of directing actors by its maker.

"The Incident" is almost an island in the filmography of Peerce and almost certainly his best work.
