Wicker Park A Decent Drama With Thriller Elements
20 June 2009
Wicker Park is a decent drama with thriller elements from director Paul McGuigan whose admirable in making this movie about a man who becomes obsessed and puts his life on hold in order to find his long lost love. The cast are good in their roles including Josh Hartnett, Rose Byrne, Matthew Lilard, and Diane Kruger but some of them lack screen time. The movie does have some suspense, mystery, and surprises as Hartnett's character desperately tries to find the girl of his dreams played by Kruger. The pacing was a little slow at times and some of the twists were revealed a bit too soon but except for some flaws this film wasn't too bad. It may not be the greatest movie ever made but it's certainly not the worst either. Overall despite some flaws with character development and pacing, Wicker Park isn't that bad of a film. It could've been better but I feel the good outweighed the bad in this one. Wicker Parker has some suspense, surprises, drama, romance, and good performances by the cast who make this movie worth watching at least once.
