Hide and Seek

Here is another classic example of a motion picture simply falling under the weight of expectation. Robert DeNiro puts in a fine performance, the script is fairly solid, some great creep out moments and still, the film just falls flat. That old sense of been there, seen that, got the proverbial t-shirt, pass me the popcorn please. I'll tip my hat to Dakota Fanning for turning in an amazing Wednesday Adams and I do pray she does not go the way of so many childhood actors. She has chops, let us hope she has the brains and spine to go with them. As it is, the film is a fine little suspense thriller....just don't double feature it with The Sixth Sense.
