Fidel (2002) Review

By Christopher Null

Bad

A sentimental and suprisingly pro-Castro docudrama, Fidel is a completely one-sided love letter to Fidel Castro, overlooking decades of near-terror-level dictatorship of the country.

At 140 minutes long, it will try the patience of even the most dedicated viewer.

Intensity Review

By Christopher Null

Weak

John McGinley takes an odd role as an extremely odd psycho. He's kidnapped a little girl and is keeping her in his basement. And then for some reason he massacres a nearby family, in order to take pictures of the dead guys and bring them back to the little girl. Along for the ride is poor Chyna (Molly Parker), who had a rough childhood full of violence, and here she is trying to stop the madman who killed her college friend. See, she's got problems, he's got problems? If she survives the torment of the killer, will she survive her own inner torment? Yes, it's all nonsense, stretched out to the 3 hours of mini-series length and courtesy of mass-market horror writer Dean Koontz. Whatever!
