This movie was put together with some fundamental
problems throughout the picture. They tell you at the beginning
what's going to happen and why. So you know everything that's
going to take place.
The story is slow-moving and drags along.
Even the serious straight lines become laughable.
I do give the last 30 minutes a few good
points, but overall you can throw rocks at this glass house. |
The Glass House
is a tense, predictable thriller that is too long for its own
good--about half an hour too long.
Acted at a snail's pace, it has all the
trappings--sly glances, partial conversations, and an eerie shadow
from the swimming pool.
But what it lacks is a decent script and
innovation. People who live in glass houses shouldn't live such
shattered lives. |
The Glass House
is a grim, frightful hyped-up spectacle that turns two orphaned
children into victims.
The film's release just three days after
the tragedy in New York and Washington is a case of bad timing
and should have been rescheduled.
I didn't like the way the movie puts children
in peril with its sexual situations and violence.
This is junk with a bitter, brutal edge.
It's a really useless, trashy thriller--in my view. |
