Period gothic drama on superstition v science
A very good modern period gothic drama about how a town can convince itself about a mythical beast while confronting contemporary science.

In the centre of the entire story is a beautiful but complex relationship between a woman of science and a priest who on most occasions disagree with one another but learn to come to terms with each other's viewpoints. And in between their relationship is a withering wife and her autistic son. A multilayered novel rich with substance.

A good period crime drama as Tom Hanks plays a hitman with a difficult choice to make. Quite a long, slow film with not a lot of action but great stoytelling. It's very well made.

Great movie for the time period. Jack does a good Joker, he was the better of all Jokers until Heath. (0 more)
The acting is typical late 80s early 90s with the typical camera. Storyline is also pretty predictable (0 more)
