Misery - 9 stars out of 10
Kathy Bates' performance is genius (in a mad scientist sort of way) as she displays the extremes of obsessive fandom. Amidst 90+ minutes of constant intensity, there are several unforgettable moments of concentrated evil that will send chills down your spine and leave your jaw unhinged. Misery attains a level of Hitchcockian suspense as Stephn King's disturbing screen play is retold by Director Rob Reiner.You cannot help but empathize with James Caan as each of his character's emotions are amplified exponentially in his eyes; however, once you empathize, I pity your sensation of helplessness. Bates' Oscar was well-earned and the story truly delivers.
