Closer Than the Boy Next Door (1998)
Good actors ruined in a twisted tale
29 August 2005
When I watched this movie I thought that the director MUST have had a vision that I just could not get. I mean, the actors were good (Erik Bennett, especially, was very real to me, and played Justing with depth and spirit), but the pace was miserable, the camera work was choppy and the staging was weak. I figured that he was, through the pain of the pace, trying to make adult incest an even more painful theme to contemplate, but come on, how much more painful can it be!??!!? This movie is not what it might have been, but that is due to the director imposing himself on his actors and on his script in ways that bogged it all the way down.
