Review of Lord of the Flies (1990) by Hal Lipper for Tampa Bay Times — 24 Jun 2005
Hook's visual sense is not acute here; he doesn't show the spontaneous sense of time and place that made his first film, The Kitchen Toto (1988), so convincing. He seems more concerned with telling the story than showing it, and there are too many passages in which the boys are simply trading dialogue.
