A good movie

As you may have noticed, I’m not exactly a huge fan of thrillers in general. Sure, some of them are quite entertaining but I’m always amazed and rather annoyed by the over-the-top and usual stupid twists involved and even with such classics like ‘Seven’ or ‘The Silence of the Lambs’. Still, there are some exceptions and this movie is actually one of them. It is not in fact a really famous flick and it has never been considered as a masterpiece but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure, I’ll admit it, it is nothing really amazing and, indeed, the story was rather far-fetched and there was some rather unbelievable twist but, at least, the whole thing was well constructed and very tense from the beginning until the end. It does help  when you have such fine actors like Jeff Bridges and Glenn Close and they both delivered some solid performances (I especially enjoyed Jeff Bridges, such an underrated actor, it was great to see him tackle a really different character for once). To conclude, even though it was definitely not a a game-changer whatsoever, it remains a solid thriller and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
