Review of The Clearing (2004) by Francis M — 18 May 2010
*** (out of four).
Though some people hated this film, I think there is enough here for a small recommendation. The tone is bleak and desperate which I really liked and the performances from Robert Redord, Helen Mirren, and Willem Dafoe are all excellent.
Redford and Mirren are a married couple living in Pittsburgh. He has moved himself up into a a very successful businessman worth a lot of money. They seem to have it all. Their lives unravel when he is kidnapped and held for ransom.
