Review of Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek (2005)
3/10
You gotta be kidding me
20 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
One of the worst movies I've seen in the past few years, this is a sort of Secret Window gone bad (and Secret Window was definitely not so good, indeed!!). De Niro, who is collecting infamous roles in this era after the really bad Godsend, is a schizophrenic father of a sweet child (Dakota Fanning, the only good actress in this movie), who after the "suicide" of his wife is forced to grow up the child by himself. What follows is a very mediocre thriller, that is resolved at two third of the total time of the movie, so the last third is inane (with an ending that is called home way too long before). And, yes there is also Famke Jensen, in a minor - if decisive - role. She is still a beauty but doesn't save the movie - only the little girl.
