Review of Reversal of Fortune (1990) by Brendanh. — 06 Apr 2006

I've watched RofV six times and I never get tired of it. Never get tired of Ron Silver's vastly underrated performance, Jeremy Irons' introverted despair, Glenn Close's intoxicating mix of rage and ennui.

The film confronts our assumptions of the "whodunnit" and turns them on their head. In RoV, as in life, we can't always come to definite conclusions to what happened, or why; whether a man is good, evil, or lives in some point in between.

Doesn't deserve to be mentioned with "The Godfather", but I love this movie. I think I'll watch it another six times.
