Review of Rain Man (1988) by Alex A — 16 Mar 2014
Rain Man is compassionate, funny, sad, and emotionally hard-hitting all at once. Dustin Hoffman needs no introduction here, everyone knows his convincing portrayal of an autistic was deservedly Oscar worthy.
Despite some overacting in certain areas, Tom Cruise still delivers one of the best performances of his career as the greedy-turned-sympathetic brother. Hans Zimmer's score embodies the film and its message perfectly.
It's a leisurely road trip film, so expect a few slow moments, but when it's over, you can't help but acknowledge that Rain Man pulled a few heart strings.
