Review of In the Bedroom (2001) by Nickthecritick — 19 Oct 2022
I found this film very flawed in several choices. The characters are poorly written (not very detailed) and the film fails every time you need to build tension. For example, Frank Fowler's murder scene wears out too quickly and the violence stays out of the camera. The same goes for the most important scene in the third act of the film.
The killer's psychology is not in-depth, and neither is that of the victim's father, eager for revenge. Cinematography is as good as the original cast but with a script like this, even the acting is negatively affected. I was not at all convinced by this debut by Todd Phillips.
