Review of Fear

Fear (1996)
6/10
A surprisingly Dark Psychological thriller.
5 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
A straight forward girl meets boy, girl and boy split up and one get very mad picture. Fear is A surprisingly Dark Psychological thriller. With moments of sex and violence that were more graphic than what i was expecting. The cast showed early signs of the talents and stars they would become, Alyssa Milano for me giving the best performance in her small role in the movie. I enjoyed the father - daughter relationship which seemed realistic. The Direction of the film was on point and the action in the film keeps things moving along at a steady pace, and the tension building towards a reasonably satisfying climax.

negatively, i did not enjoy the soundtrack, as individual songs i may have enjoyed them, but they did not build tension and seemed to not match the action taking place, moments in the story came off as silly especially a sexual assault confusingly being seen as a legitimate consensual sex act. Also as a whole i did enjoy the performances but never really found Mark Wahlberg's early sensitive side in the picture as true.

On the whole i did enjoy the film, but still would have to give an average rating.
