An Out-Of-His-Depth Directorial Triumph June 16, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Director Adrian Lyne is one of those Auteurs who dredge up mixed feelings amongst cinemaphiles. Better known for his psychosexual dramas such as "Fatal Attraction" (Good) and "9 1/2 Weeks" (Utterly dire), Lyne somehow managed to get his paws on Bruce Joel Rubin's script and put his own sheen upon it.. And surprise surprise, it's rather good in all respects. From it's opening scene the movie reaches for the same heights as holier-than-thou movies such as "The China Syndrome" and "Coming Home" and almost reaches them - at least manages to touch their coattails.br /br /The story revolves around tortured Vietnam Vet Jacob Singer(played with gusto by Tim Robbins)and his attempts to uncover what exactly the US Army did to his mind during a NVA offensive... faced with fuzzy memories of his compadres going ape, Singer is faced with hellish hallucinations and delusions as he makes his way through a drab, grim '70s New York. Was he the victim of an insidious experiment to increase a GI's kill-rate via drugs? The storyline is effective, the backdrop is remarkably viable. With sterling performances from Elizabeth Pena, Danny Aiello and others the movie deserves better accolades than it finally received. The only down-side? An irritating Macaulay Culkin pre-fame, playing Singer's beloved son. Hell, everything has a downside, but even so, I'd take a whole film starring the poisonous munchkin over "Indecent Proposal" anyday.br /br /Concerning this DVD release - There is an earlier release, but bare-bones and in 1:85:1 Aspect ratio, so there is room for improvement there, and I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to DVD re-issues. Perhaps it'll be as good as the Region 1 Widescreen Anamorphic Special Edition? Hope srings eternal, but considering the recent rash of bare-bones Region 2 rubbish, perhaps not. How about a Blu-Ray release, God?
