We all now Robin Williams as the crazy wild man of comedy. I must say I do enjoy his movies. From 'Good Morning Vietnam' to 'Mrs. Doubtfire', he has never failed to deliver. Here he play photo finishings worker Simon Parrish, a loner whom people make fun of. We find out early on in the movie that Simon is obsessed by a family whose photos he develops and when he loses his job of 11 years, he finds out some dirty secrets, cracks and then takes matters into his own hands. Williams is very watchable as a crackpot and a lot of the time I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, but the movie just fell a little short for me at the finale. The movie has a short running length for of around 85 mins...not a lot for a so-called 'thriller'. It's interesting and enjoyable enough, but there just doesn't seem enough substance here for this one to become a classic. *** out of *****
