Cast: Reese Witherspoon (Very young
and beautiful Reese I should say), Kiefer Sutherland, Brooke Shields
This week movie is one of my
personal favorite because of the actor in it i.e. Reese. This was 5th
Movie of Reese but the first critical acclaimed movie where she actually not
only played a lead role but dominated the entire 100 minutes with her acting.
This movie showed a star in the making which was proven later at so many other
iconic roles, most recent being Madeline Mackenzie in Big Little lies.
Alongside Reese, we have a very short but powerful role of Mr. Sutherland who
most of you know from 24 (that’s right- Jack Bauer). Now this movie is a dark
comedy and is about exploitation of rich and how the underlying crime takes
place.
Movie is about a 16 year old girl
named Vanessa Lutz (Reese) who is
illiterate and live in a shady environment with her Mother (who is a
prostitute) and Stepfather (Who is a child abuser). When they both get arrested
, she decides to run away and live with her Grandmother in the West USA who is
not even aware of her existence. But destiny had other plans for her , as her
car breaks down and she is picked by Bob (Kiefer) who is a psychology teacher
who decides to help her to drop to LA. Now comes, 20 mins of dialogue delivery
which you would fascinate you and keep you at the edge of your seats. But
believe me , movie doesn’t end here as Vanessa get’s arrested for attacking/attempting
to kill Bob who reveals himself to be a child abuser’s / molester /serial
killer to her. Although this doesn’t’ get proven in court which results in
Vanessa going to jail and be tried in Adult court for the horrendous attack she
made on Bob. Well, I will leave you here to go and watch the movie to see the
fate of Vanessa and if Bob actually get’s caught or not in this entire facade.
One thing , I can guarantee is
you will not get bored and you will see how amazing Reese was playing this
character who was foul mouthed , short tempered but still lovable and kind,
also not to forgot that her timing in the entire movie was spot on. Full marks
to the supporting character’s as well in them movie. Do watch and share!!!
