Review of The Crying Game (1992) by Mike M — 21 Feb 2010
Love transcends all barriers, Nominated for 6 Oscars and Winner of Best Original Screenplay, 'The Crying Game' took critics and audiences by storm in 1992 and it's not hard to see why. Irish director Neil Jordan (Interview with the Vampire, The Brave One) weaves a complicated story of Love, Loyalty, Murder and Obsession, played out against the seedy backdrop of inner London.
It's an oddly humorous tale, while massive story twist it contains is absolutely astonishing; it really is only an ounce of the films true power. The cast is great, Oscar Nominee Jaye Davidson (Stargate) is brilliant, and Stephen Rea really carries the film brilliantly.
'The Crying Game' takes some big risks, but the payoff is immense.
