Review of The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) by James F — 25 Jun 2007
This movie really shouldn't be called a "Thriller." The tagline for this movie reads "You will feel the heat." That's a lie. Unless their definition of heat is lukewarm.
This movie just kind of dragged on...and on...and on to the point that with about 15 minutes left I was yelling "Just end already!" at the television screen. There were maybe 2 or 3 parts of the movie where I was "thrilled" but all in all this was very disappointing.
This is the 4th version of this story. I'd like to see the others because I've heard very good things about the book and this just doesn't do anything justice.
Jack Nicholson couldn't even save this one. He just didn't really add much to this poorly put together film. The characters were just not interesting and I have no idea where any of their motivations came from.
