Review of Rain Man (1988) by Lord N — 05 May 2010
Well, Rain Man is a great Oscar Bait film. and as an Oscar bait film, it was very successful. I REALLY liked Dustin Hoffman's performance. no matter what people say about this film, it cannot be denied that Dustin Hoffman's performance was amazing.
he was fully believable as a low functioning autistic character. I was okay with Tom Cruise in this movie. I usually can't stand the guy but he was okay with this one. I liked the developing relationship between the Babbitt brothers.
at first Cruise sees Hoffman as a burden that he has to deal with to get money and by the end they have truly bonded with their time together. Final Verdict: Good for now. I still have to see the other nominees but Hoffman's performance will make it difficult for any movie to beat this one.
And remember: K-Mart Sucks.
