I was disappointed with this one. I caught it on the big screen opening week. I'm not a fan of Williams, but I thought I'd give this one a shot. I'm sorry I did. What a puke-fest!!!
awesome movie. probably my favorite robin williams besides jack. he plays sia so good. hes creepy and you know something is up with him, it could have moved a little bit faster but that adds the the creepiness of him and the cinematography was amazing
Creepy. The movie was very hard to categorise, as It's definately not a horror, but then if it's a thriller, it's not very thrilling, but thriller was the only category it fits into. The film is great. From start to finish your eyes never leave the screen. The films creepiness level's are peaked when the character starts to get thoughts of himself with the family, as the uncle. The plot is so simple, and well, with what the director was given, he done a great job. Many parts of the film are just "Robin Williams" trying to be notcied by the mother he is crazy obsessed with. Alot of the scene's dialogue fits perfect with what "Williams' can do.
The plot was very simple, and very disturbing. What is most disturbing about the plot, is that I couldn't really figure out why someone would think to write the film. Personal Experience maybe?. Anyway, the plot was very well made into a motion picture, and the chilling premise of the film stands out as key, to make it a good thrillerish film.
The acting, well "Robin Williams" is definately the standout. His performence from being only known to me as the funny guy, to the creppy stalker, is great, and it is so effective. He gives of this vibe, that straight away you would think he is a crazy old man, but still he is so great in this film, that i'd love to see him in more films of this genre.
Overall "One Hour Photo" is a mild thriller that, is yet creepily effective, in making you not look away for one second, in case you miss a vital moment. My rating is 3.5/5
Robin Williams' acting in this film reminds me of Norman Bates in Psycho, unpredictable, desperate and lonely make for an interesting and daring character, a fascinating movie that is probably the best villian Williams has played along with his character in "Insomnia"
