Robert De Niro’s career has totally been in the crapper the last few years. I count 6 totally horrible films in a row. He really needs a good one. Unfortunetly, it doesn’t look like Hide and Seek is it.
The reviews for this film aren’t the worst I’ve seen this week, and there are even a couple of positive ones… but for they most part the critics don’t seems to like it. They don’t HATE it… but it’s negative nonetheless. Anyway, here’s what some of the critics have to say:
“ALMOST a good movie. Of course, that close call with competence is averted with an ending that gets worse and worse as it drags on and on”
— Willie Waffle, WAFFLEMOVIES.COM“Another movie in which rich white people who don’t seem to have or need jobs move to a mansion in the country to be terrorized by a mysterious, faceless, evil.”
— Joshua Tyler, CINEMABLEND.COM“Though it’s not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, Hide and Seek does manage to hold the viewers interest throughout…”
— David Nusair, REEL FILM REVIEWS“An absorbing mystery-thriller for its first hour … until it races off the tracks toward a dumb, albeit predictable, twist ending.”
— Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM
Oh well… looks lke strike 7 for De Niro. This guy needs to take some lessons on how to pick a winning script… because he seems to have forgotten. He’s got way too much talent to throw away on films like City By The Sea, 15 Minutes, Showtime and now this.
