I love this movie so much
So much average
Boring
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
If you are looking for a really bad movie you just wanna watch to make the time pass, this is the movie for you. It's not very exciting. After watching a few minutes you'll figure out what's gonna happen next and how it's all gonna end. You won't get tricked. They feed you the whole story with a little spoon. It's not that hard. The movie is about a woman who lives by drawing criminal faces. A girl get taken away and when she gets back she explains the face for the drawer. The drawer get shocked when she sees the face she just drew. It's the face of her stepfather that died many years ago. But soon she discovers he's not really dead. He's after her. She tells that to the police man. They fall in love. How many times haven't we seen that before? The story is weak, the acting is bad, and there's really no point in the story at all. I really don't recommend this movie.
This is one of many movies that were 'prescribed' to me by my shrink who believed in their effectiveness in therapy. At first I could not understand the connection between a film and a psychological problem. But then it became clear that both are about a 'fantasy'. Almost everyone in society is living a fantasy that can be as far removed or as close to reality as the person wishes. Of course, if the that person is a head of state dragging his country into war or running after Utopian dreams then the harm done is that much more greater.Now a film is also a fantasy, but it is the very exact and deliberate fantasy of the director. When we see a movie we are transported into that fantasy and we live it in vivid detail and color in all our visual and mental senses. We also live it in our subconscious senses as well, and herein lies its value. Seeing what has been thus far deeply embedded and intertwined inside us now on screen and out in the open helps begin the separation process (between reality and fantasy). Since the distinction between the fantasy of the movie and your current reality is very clear, and since you willingly entered the movie fantasy by your own choice until it overlapped with your inner similar fantasy; you can get to experience the willful 'exiting' of the movie fantasy that would subsequently help you to 'exit' your inner fantasy in the future. Well, it's a little more complicated than that, but this isn't the best place to discuss in deep psychotherapy techniques.Of course I'm not suggesting that, in and of its self, a movie would cure anybody of anything; that has to be the work of a professional, and it's his or her decision as to whether or not to incorporate it into the therapy process. But I am curious as to whether anyone else has ever 'used' this film (or any other movie) in this sense or at least experienced their psychological effect either consciously or subconsciously.
Oh this is ridiculous; sketch artist assigned to investigate and help locate an abductor just happens to have a past where her relative may be the culprit; same old trash....she and the lead actor get romantically involved, the chief suspect maybe ain't really involved and so on.....bad script, bad acting. The whole plot is ludicrous and preposterous,plus being totally unrealistic. When I saw the cliched scene of of the phone not working and our heroine looking at the receiver in ham fashion,I knew then this was a sure-fire 1 out of 10.
Good yarn about a series of child molestations/murders taking place in a small Minnesota town. When the most recent victim goes missing the police call in a sketch artist who has had success in bringing criminals to justice with her detailed drawings. When a witness is found and the sketch is completed the artist is confounded because she thinks she knows the felon. A manhunt is started for the man leading the authorities down a road to a series of misleading conclusions. Exciting, although unrealistic, finale.
