Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

iwbcman I just registered here now, having been using IMDb for film info's and reviews for many years now. The reason: this film is one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life.It pains me to register only to post on a film like this. The fact is this film is proof that a fine actor can be reduced to something beyond mediocrity. Dennis Hopper is an actor who has provided wonderful performances in so many films, but in this film he seeks to a new low, and my respect of him, as an actor, has sunk markedly.Not one single thing about this film is worth watching. The production values are sub par for even low budget made-for-TV-movies. The plot is about as inspiring as the last flush of my toilet. The characters are completely unbelievable. The acting was horrific. Normally, bad movies can at least find some redemption in being a B film, but this film is not even in the same league. The dialog, the behaviors, the lack of suspense, the utter predictability, the snoring pace-it just doesn't end-this movie made me felt like I was trapped in that cage. The characters illicit no sympathy whatsoever. One gains no insight into their motives, other than the depiction of Hopper's characters past-which was delivered in such a lackluster way that it could not have convinced a born-again believer.I have often read others describing wasted hours of their lives. I always had little sympathy for such comments. But this film finally helped me gain insight into such comments. I wish I could take back the 2 hours of my life that this despicable waste of time and resources, acting talent, film material, and wages represents. Those who participated in this film should be ashamed of what they were a part of and I hope that Dennis Hopper can wipe the stench off his hands for his part in it.AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH what a horrible film!

Claudio Carvalho In Redwood County, the dancer Gina (Asia Argento) is attacked and her boyfriend is killed by a maniac in a motel. Gina is attended by Sergeant Burns (Lochlyn Munro) and Lieutenant Krebs (Dennis Hopper) insists in giving a lift to her when she leaves the hospital. However, he kidnaps Gina and arrests her in a cell in the basement of his isolated house. The deranged policeman has a serious trauma from his childhood with dancers of night-clubs and establishes rules and punctuations for Gina while she is imprisoned. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Krebs is stalked by a local, Ruthie (Helen Shaver), who has a crush on him and wants to promote his amateurish puppet show with the character Deputy Rock, his alter-ego. Sgt. Burns is trying to find a clue where the missing Gina may be."The Keeper" is another predictable rip-off of William Wyler's "The Collector". This time, the captor is a deranged lieutenant and the captive is a dancer. The story entertains, but Dennis Hopper is too old and fat for the lead character. The heavy make-up on his face is highlighted in the image of the DVD. It is ridiculous the scene where a young dancer that is keeping her shape working-out in her cell is chased by an old fat man that is able to catch her. Today is a rainy day in Rio de Janeiro, and this movie was a reasonable choice for a boring afternoon. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Obsessão" ("Obsession")

bangquackadoodle This movie, co-starring Helen Shaver and Asia Argento, is in keeping with the oddness expected of Dennis Hopper. His motivation to do a movie like this one is questionable and I would be the first to wonder how much he was paid or whether this was him doing someone a favor for a friend or... I think you can get the picture. Lo-budget film, poor plot, crummy lines for the co-stars all contribute to the mystery of Hopper without saying much for anyone else in the film. I believe it to be the former of the assumptions; they paid Dennis well for this one. It takes place in a small town. The lake region where it was filmed contains stunningly beautiful scenes. The home where most of the movie takes place is itself is a stereotypical classic. The prison like cage dwelling of the costar, Asia Argento is classic too. There is an interesting amount of testosterone mixed in as well that contributes to some excitement during a puppet scene performed by Hopper toward the end. Shaver's role could have been better defined and Argento could have come across with more emotion, but her acting was good considering the role she played as a kidnapped stripper. Hopper as the psychotic sheriff is not at his best, but Hopper's best, in my opinion, cannot be defined which may help explain why I rented the film in the first place. I gave it a 2 because it is no Titanic or Capote, but given the genre, I could have rated it higher.

henri-meijer Hello Writer and actors of the Keeper, I saw the movie a few days ago and it really changed my life! It was the first time I ever fell in love. I fell in love with the message of the movie, of course I'm talking about the point system. It's so beautiful in his simplicity, and tells you how to think. Thanks you for that, thank you soooooo much for opening my eyes. I am now devoting my life to the point system. I made my own version of it. But what I really like to know is: Is there a book or a religion about the system? Where do I buy these thinks? How many points does the actress that the cop keeps in his basement have? I love your work, If you where God it would not surprise me! Henri
