psychological thriller by director Phil Joahnu two of its well acclaimed predecessors Silence of the Lambs and Cape Fear But unlike those this film does not panic the audience or pose any threatening scenenos in a personal way Final Analysis features Richard Gere as a psychiatrist who has an affair with his pa Thurmant sister Kim The psychological conditions and journeys of these two women is a plot element that is technically similar to the one set out in Silence of the Lambs As Heather Evans Kim Bass inger transforms from a vivacious older sister into a hag gard older battle axe The tion isn difficult for in fact it comes off quite smoothly given there are only two dimen to her character Likewise Richard Gere is typically himself as the vatively polished professional falling love with yet another pretty woman Be she good or bad beauty is blinding to the big lug The love plot is not the only predictable component of this movie The ending strikingly the Cape Fear water ages of purification though the overall impression is less sur real And in Final Analysis it does not take 45 minutes to make the point The script is blase with only a few breaks Some of the best lines are given to Bassinger sister Gere neurotic patient who fers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder After controlling her stove phobia which takes her anywhere up to minutes to en sure that her gas stove is off before leaving the house she tells him tint she is now keeping her sister gun and that she daily checks times to ensure the safety is one and the gun is load Her style is deadpan When is complaining about being institutionalized for a two week psychiatric after being deemed not responsi for her actions due to tern porary insanity Thurman reminds her that after all she did just kill

less per sonal comes across less intense The horror is the knowledge that people can premeditate crime and escape just penalty i faking insanity Today this is beV ing alleged in the Milwaukee in sanity trial of Geoffrey The final analysis is that this film resembles others in its genre without psychologically terronz ing the audience People leaving the cinema seem generally less uptight or distressed Though the talent is not on the scale of Martin Scorcese Robert DeNior Nick or Jodie Foster Final Analysis offers an outing more along the lines of traditional enter IWYRTLEBEACHSC Ehjvalot
