Read More probably one of the creepiest characters I've ever seen on film. I usually have a good stomach for this type of cinema villian, but Willams' character actually made me cringe from his awkward actions and disturbing obsession. And thankfully they didn't overdo it by throwing in maniacal tendencies or fits of rage. They kept him calm and quiet, like a simmering pot of sad evil. There's not really a whole lot to the whole story. It's all about just the possibility that someone in your everyday life could be slightly demented. You never know.

This is not a comedy. You won't see (or hear) the mandatory voices/characters scene that's in every other Robin Williams movie. This characater will creep you out and I challenge to trust the local photo guy after watching this movie. Williams does a great job moving this movie along, and in the end, you don't know wether to hate the guy, or feel sorry for him. A tense and low-key thriller...yeah, I guess that's a good description. You might end up on the edge of your seat but you won't really jump. This is a good movie wether or not you're a Robin Willims fan. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This was the most amazing acting I have seen by any actor EVER! Robin Williams did the job of his life, controlling his inner child and playing a serious, disturbing role. This was also a story that you really don't know what is going to happen next, even up until the very end. You're even rooting for the bad guy (Sy), even though you know he needs phychological help. Don't miss this movie. You will not be disappointed. You'll be mad, sad, happy, and scared and maybe look at the photo guy in a different way next time. And also, look around you at your family and realized HOW LUCKY YOU REALLY ARE! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Robin Williams is far more talented than many people give him credit for; in fact, in his current, "mature" phase, I believe he plays serious roles even better than comic roles, and I thought he gave good insight into this character. I also believe that Sy is not a "bad" or "evil" man--just disturbed, desperately lonely, and dangerously psychotic. The movie held my interest throughout, and I was not disappointed whatsoever. I am glad, however, that the kids didn't see this one. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It wasn't the best or the creepiest I've seen, but still held my attention the whole movie. I have little tolerance for Robin Williams' high speed rants and zany voices so this was a refreshing change. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This is the second movie I have suffered through because I thought ;that somewhere along the way, I would see something funny from a Robin Williams I used to like. He is trying to prove to himself, if not the general viewing publc, that he is a serious actor and hasn't proved it yet nor will he ever, if he persists. I cannot remember the last good movie he has appeared in. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

However, about 1/2 through the movie, I was bored to tears, and falling asleep. Normaaly when watching a movie (even fairly) bad ones, I don't turn it off - this one I was happy to put back in the envelope without knowing the ending. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?
