Am I Missing Something?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Richard Dreyfuss portrays an unhappy doctor. After losing a young patient and blaming himself--he decided to no longer work with children. Then he meets "Tim," an autistic child, who lost both of his parents--to homicide. Tim's teen-aged sister insists that she is the only person on earth capable of caring for him, but Dreyfuss' character has been persuaded to work with Tim, alone.To me, this story was as close to a horror flick as a Richard Dreyfuss movie could be. I found it to be disturbing 80% of the time. If you like disturbing movies, see it--but after the kids are safely tucked in.

This interesting psychological drama has a compelling first half, thanks to a solid cast (although Linda Hamilton and John Lithgow are wasted in worthless supporting roles) and handsome production. But the explanations become cliched in the second half, and the movie chooses the most predictable resolution available. It's such an obvious finale that (Warning:SPOILER) two of the characters discuss it and consider it in the first five minutes, so we, the viewers, expect something MUCH more unexpected and bizarre to happen at the end. This has its satisfying moments as a low-key drama (and Liv Tyler is astonishingly beautiful), but falls short as a whodunit. (**)

O.K, Liv Tylers not a great actresses but for her first attempt I think she's done alright.The little boy, Tim also did a good job for a first time actor! This movie was strange , thought I had it sort out but then the twist at the end had me a bit confused , but hey I get confused easily! I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for something to watch on a rainy day , but otherwise if your looking for a good thriller look somewhere else!!! I would give it 7/10!

Richard Dreyfuss is acting challenged. Liv Tyler fails in her very first attempt to act at all. Thank goodness she's had acting lessons since. Too bad Richard Dreyfuss hasn't.Ridiculous voice-overs for the 9 year old autistic who supposedly "imitates" adult voices. I can't even go on about how stupid and contrived this film was. Why must we be subjected to the horrendous movies from Hollywood?One day, films won't be released unless they've passed an audience approval. Until then, I'll be watching the only good movie left: Rocky Horror Picture Show. (HAha!)
