Very best movie i ever watch
Good concept, poorly executed.
Awesome Movie
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
You have quite a few established actors in this. The original Manhunter (the first one to face Hannibal Lecter, who was not played by Anthony Hopkins), a witch or the daughter of (Alyssa Milano), a very young Reese Witherspoon and of course Mark Wahlberg, who plays completely against expectations in this one.Since this was over 20 years ago, they all do look very young. The theme of the movie is very simple: dangerous first love. A father will always try to be as protective as possible. But is he right to do so in this case? A girl will revolt against people trying to keep her down. Even someone who seems like the quietest naive little girl. Also a very innocent looking one like the one Reese is playing, might be tempted by someone strong looking like Mark. You can see where this is going, so it is predictable, but still somewhat fun, if you let yourself enjoy it
A love story between two teens turns into a horrific nightmare in this romantic thriller directed by James Foley. Reese Witherspoon plays Nicole Walker, an average 16-year old girl in high school with great friends and loving parents. While attending a party with her best friend Margo (played by Alyssa Milano), she meets a handsome young named David McCall (played by Mark Wahlberg) who gives Nicole a ride home after the party. Nicole eventually develops a relationship with the seemingly heartthrob guy, much to the dismay of her overprotective father Steve (played by William Petersen) and their starts off fairly well. However, when David's love for Nicole soon grows into an obsession, a violent incident at school leads Nicole to believe that David may not be innocent as he appears to be. Nicole soon learns that David does not take "no" for an answer and will stop at nothing their relationship together, even if it involves harm of the ones she loves."Together forever...or else" is the tagline for this film, and it definitely resonates well with the film's plot as it deals with a young man's obsession with a beautiful girl that turns into deadly before she knows it. This teen version of the classic erotic thriller 'Fatal Attraction' puts Mark Wahlberg in his first role after his departure from the rap group Marky Mark and The Funky bunch, as a high school boy with a charming personality that masks his violent, sadistic nature. While his performance in this role is competent, he seems a bit miscasted. He doesn't look very threatening enough as the antagonist, even during the climax towards the end with the home invasion. As a result, his portrayal as the violent, obsessive young man doesn't feel very convincing. His performance as David McCall only feels believable when he and Reese Witherspoon begin their relationship and when they are sharing romantic moments together before his violent persona takes flight. After all, Wahlberg is only for portraying heroic roles in his films. On the bright side, the movie does manage to deliver some solid thrills and a few suspenseful moments to carry the dark atmosphere, while borrowing a few elements from other erotic thrillers. And the romance between Wahlberg and Witherspoon during the first half works fine, steering away from cheesy dialogue that many romance flicks are notorious for. The film doesn't offer much new to the table or anything to leave an worthwhile impression, but carries some entertainment value at least.Fear is a fine romance thriller that may appeal to teens as well as some adults, but nothing truly original nor overly clichéd should be expected here. This definitely isn't the most memorable in the resumes of the two main leads, but it is one worth checking out.
FearTeenage girls like to date bad boys because the nice guys aren't rich enough yet.Mind you, the young woman in this thriller is doing it to annoy her father.Sent to Seattle to live with father (William Petersen), his new wife (Amy Brenneman) and her son after being evicted by her mother, Nicole (Reese Witherspoon) meets the enigmatic David (Mark Wahlberg).Shortly after the two become an item, Nicole begins to miss her curfew – enraging her father who is already angry over David undermining his authority.By the time Nicole realizes David's true nature, he and his friends have surrounded her home and having begun terrorizing her family.The quintessential crazy ex-lover movie, Fear is not only loaded with outlandish behaviour on the part of the unstable party, but it also showcases Wahlberg's best performance to date.Incidentally, the only guy good enough for a man's daughter is a eunuch.Green Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
I have titled this review 'Revisited' as I have seen this movie before, a long while ago, but I have still seen it before. It really is a little gem of a film. The storyline is good, the acting is good and even the 'thriller' aspect of the film makes you feel a bit freaked out. There is a romance aspect, but its not too mushy.Excellent acting from both Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon. Both so young in this film, and also still acting today. I could easily say that Fear features possibly one of the best performances from the pair of them. Wahlberg's ability to play a psychopath so easily, and convincingly is amazing. Witherspoon's naivety as a sixteen year old girl, was also incredibly outstanding. Both Wahlberg and Witherspoon are household names now, that almost everyone had heard of, yet in this film they were both new and unknown. Excellent way to pave a career guys.
