Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

eban1981 I speak with great emotion with this actress, SHE WAS A GODDESS IN THIS ROLE,wole a lotta sensuality, romance with a touch of melancholy sweetness and a run-of-hope in a film so dark and wilderness, Owww whole a meg's fascinating lines i get hony. Folks, see Meg Ryan's Exciting Sweet and Spicy,is not for everday,is a unique moments A very intelligent film Thriller will appear from the Cake rising scene, Smoking only fit Lingerie, the Vast Texas cornfields of the Sun entering with a profusion of curls Fine Blonde haired and Vertigo Meg Ryan's beauty. entitled to the pinch of nudity both Meg & Gwynelth some few minutes.. Great acting, Awesome Screenplay , marvelousy Dennis Quaid's performance, and Gwynelth 's incredible Debut and Finest James Caan's in a Haunting. A lost 90's GEM Steve Kloves Masterpiece ,is a pity, A Worthy Oscar-Movie. But Meg Ryan,honestly, SHE glittered! HER SMILE is like a Sunlight into a cloudy and mourneth lands.

jackstanley Perhaps some people only want to see Meg Ryan in romantic comedies, or perhaps IMDb voters give this a low average rating because 'nothing happens', but look beneath the surface and you will find a dark and haunting drama of the first order, with the best work from all involved for many years before or since.Steve Kloves, completely 'miscast' as the adaptive screenwriter for the Harry Potter films (he writes in American, for heaven's sake) here produces a great original work as a writer/director, utilizing some amazing visuals from Phillipe Rousselot (d.o.p.) and music from Thomas Newman (a score suitably subtle, haunting and moving). Caan, Ryan and a pre-fame Gwyneth Paltrow are all on top form but the real star here is Dennis Quaid, whose face, a canvas of tortured memories and struggling decency, says more than Kloves could ever hope to write. As director he chooses wisely; he gives Quaid a single line, then keeps the camera rolling.

Andre_Grenier I just saw this film and came away underwhelmed. After seeing the film I took a look at the comments on IMDb and was surprised to see comments like "wow!" and "awesome film!" I think the rating of 6.2 better describes it. It's not a bad film, but it sure isn't a great one. The acting is good, and it was shot well, quite well actually. The problem is, that it's just plain boring...the plot is uninteresting..I had a hard time watching it through to the end. This is a film that isn't a bad way to kill a couple of hours, but certainly wouldn't be worth going to the theaters to see.As far as the acting goes, Meg Ryan gives a typical Meg Ryan performance, as does Dennis Quaid. James Caan does a good job as a crazed character, although someone said Gwenyth Paltorows acting was outstanding (a good reason not to take drugs and watch movies at the same time), but I found her totally uninteresting....She doesn't do anything in the movie and doesn't factor into it at all really.

anamcara16933 I LOVE this movie. James Caan gives one of the creepiest, most believable villain performances ever!Had anyone noticed that Scott Wilson, who plays Elliot, was also in In Cold Blood, which ALSO featured a family getting slaughtered in their farmhouse via shotgun? I find that bit of trivia quite interesting."That's nothing. It's just a little blood.""Her heart only beats twice a minute."Wow - what a great movie!I highly recommend watching it if you haven't already.As an added bonus, you get to see Meg Ryan in the buff way before she made In the Cut.Happy viewing.
