An average movie

After hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I was definitely eager to check it out. Indeed, it was pretty successful when it was released and it has been ever since considered as a classic thriller from the 90’s. Furthermore, since it was directed by Curtis Hanson (‘L.A. Confidential’), I was quite sure it would be at least a pretty decent thriller. Unfortunately, I thought that the whole thing was rather underwhelming. Personally, I don’t think that Rebecca De Mornay should be blamed as she gave a decent performance and she tried her best to make something from this material (eventually, this movie will probably be the one everyone will remember her for). I don’t know, I still have a hard time to understand why everybody back in the 90’s thought it was so frightening. In my opinion, it was just a rather weak thriller with a typically convoluted plot with some terrible twist(s) at the end. I know, I might be asking too much from this genre but I thought this movie was actually hardly entertaining and a major disappointment. To conclude, I thought it was pretty damned average and I don’t think it is really worth a look, even if you like the genre.
