I despised Furlong in Terminator with his sullen humourless eyes and hair hanging in front of his face. I loved the performance of his little sister. Neeson always plays a control freak who has “acquired certain skills” Merryl Streep is A list as always. The plot is drama drama drama. All Jake had to do was report an accident. Two stars out of five.

Alfred Hitchcock advanced by fifty years, but still the same. Plot twists and a multi million dollar house kept dust free for six months The usual clichés of a suitcase full of cash, a stymied local cop, and a clever investigator. The California coastline remains an alluring backdrop for sleuthing as to how the murder victim was so rich. And how nobody that well off was little known by the locals. A lovely performance by the female lead, who overcomes her petite stature with exquisite orchidian perfectIon.
