Panic (2000)

Panic (2000)- * * *1\2
 
Directed By: Henry Bromell

Starring: William H. Macy, Neve Campbell, Tracy Ullman, John Ritter and Donald Sutherland










Panic is an excellent drama. Macy plays Alex, who is a hitman. He wants to retire, but his Dad, Michael (Sutherland) won't let him...without a fight. Alex is having a nervous breakdown and goes to a psychologist, Dr. Parks (Ritter) When Michael hears about this, he puts out a hit on Parks.

Panic was dumped on video for no reason. It's definitely a hidden gem. The whole cast is fantastic. Macy and Sutherland are perfect in their roles. Sutherland's character stands out. Even when Michael is opening a birthday present, he looks menacing.

Tracy Ullman plays Alex's wife. She also does a good job at developing her character throughout the film.

Panic is a movie you should look out for, if you like the actors involved.

Lost Junction (2003)-*

Directed by: Peter Masterson

Starring: Jake Busey and Neve Campbell














I don't see how this movie is entertaining at all. Everything about it is bad: The acting is atrocious. Just because Jake Busey is in a wheelchair doesn't mean he's a better actor for not moving his legs.

What did Neve Campbell see in this script? There's no drama, action, comedy, or mystery. I can't remember the plot because there was none to speak of. The climax and ending are ridiculous to say the least. Don't be fooled by the other comments on this site. This went direct to video for a reason. Avoid it like the plague.



It looks like MGM studios is churning out a lot of junk lately with this, Angel Of Death (2002), Species III (2004), Unspeakable (2002) and The Ranch (2004). MGM puts out anything if it has a B-list actor or actress.
