A good movie

I don’t know if you have noticed it but I’m not a huge fan of thrillers. I mean, of course, some of them are really entertaining but they are always trying to sell you the most preposterous plots that you can imagine (and I won’t even mention the countless number of stupid twist endings they have given us through the years….). Still, they are some exceptions, some are them are actually pretty good and this one is definitely one of them, at least, that’s my opinion. The funny thing is that it is not even a really famous or popular thriller like ‘Seven’ or ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ and I didn’t like much Koepp’s following effort ‘Secret Window’ starring Johnny Depp. For all the people trashing Kevin Bacon, they should really check this movie because he is the one who made this movie worked. Obviously, the story was nothing new or original but Bacon succeeded brilliantly in getting you involved in the torment lived by his character and I also enjoyed the directing which was really efficient. The plot may sound like something you have seen 1000s times before but, somehow, I thought it was actually quite engrossing. To conclude, even though it is far from being a masterpiece, I think it is a pretty good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
