The Barber

We rented The Barber on Saturday. I was looking for something else, but I didn't find it, so I had to improvise. I had never heard of this one, but the cover blurb was interesting enough.

The movie's a story of a serial killer (played by Malcolm McDowell) who lives in a far-away Alaskan village. He has killed a girl, whose body is found earlier than he expected. Police investigation follows and the village is stirred up nicely. The story is told through the serial killer, which is a nice twist.

Sounds good, but the movie's quite bad. The acting is pretty mediocre, nobody really shines. The story is just bad. I just hated most of the characters - watching a movie where you just hope every character would go to hell and die isn't really that interesting. I want to care about someone! Even the main good guy was arrogant, stubborn and just plain stupid.

Next time we rent a movie, it'll better be by someone famous, have some good actors in it or be recommended by someone, somewhere.
