Eek. I have to admit, I went into this film believing I probably wouldn't enjoy anything and... I was pretty much right. The film is disturbing, in many ways- the torture sequences, the dark lighting and drab mis en scene, the eerie music, the story. Interestingly, for the first hour, I wasn't captivated at all, which I didn't expect. As soon as all the pieces fall into place, though, it is definitely full of anxious tension and suspense. Brilliant performances by Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier- creepiest role he probably ever played.
