Fear Reviews

If you want to see why Reese Witherspoon is the highest paid actress in Hollywood, watch this film, not Legally Blonde 2

Reese was far greater in her earlier, riskier films, than in the current "cashing in phase" she now deservingly finds her self in. When the plot calls for it Reese is screen dynamite, as is Mark Whalberg who is now cashin in with shallow epic remakes like Planet of the Apes. This film has a great plot, great actors and a great climax. A little more characterisation for Mark's character would not have gone a miss, otherwise its a real thumbs up release.

Films were far easier to believe 9 years ago when this was made, before mobile phones took off and ruined every "trapped" plot scenario.

Fear

Great film, far better than I was expecting, definately a story line that makes you want to watch the whole film. Great acting from Reese Witherspoon as well as many other members of the cast. A very enjoyable thriller!

Not too bad

"Fear" is a teen thriller with no intentions others than entertain the audience and show good looking teen stars like Mark Wahlberg, Reese Whiterspoon, and the always lovely Alyssa Milano.

This is not a good movie by any means but it has positive things to underline. First, Wahlberg and Whiterspoon can act and their performances are the best thing about the movie. Milano is a delight to watch even that she's not very required in the movie but still shines in the few minutes she appears.

Second and best of all; "Fear" goes directly to the point and makes it very easy to watch.

Worth a watch!

Mark Wahlburg and Reese Witherspoon both play believeable parts in this film, i would not class this as a scary film but it does keep you glued to the screen, good to see the boy classed as the stalker rather than it always being the girl.

One scene near the end involving a dog i thought was unnecessary but still throughly enjoyed it. Definitely a chick flick!

Forgettable

Reviewers often start by relaying what prompted them to rent the subject movie and go on to say how it lived up to expectations or otherwise.

I have no idea why this one was on my queue. So with no expectation to reflect on:

Fear is simply a poor movie. Clearly a cape fear copy, it seeks to do nothing with the basic story other than shorten the gap between hunter and prey. The 1991 remake at least modernised and added the DeNiro touch.

Oh and Witherspoon / Wahlberg combination was appalling.

Don't waste your time.

Quite a good film, but quite predictable. Reese Witherspoon plays a great part, and there's some good characters in the film.

Great Thrilling Movie!

A brilliant, gripping movie. Wahlberg and witherspoon acting is superb and very gripping. How can this guy be real she thinks and then she finds out he is not all he makes out to be! Brilliant, Brilliant.

predictable!!

This was very predictable and slow to start, but I suppose you have to set the scene!!

Once it got going though it was a good story line.

Good stuff

Havent seen this in a while, but I remember that I liked it. Its not really scary but quite gripping and Reese Witherspoon did a good job.

Good film

don't watch if you hate animals getting killed. lots of sick stuff in it, not very scary but psycotic
