Fear X Movie Review 2003

Grim, intense thriller stars Turturro as Harry, a security guard at a Wisconsin shopping mall obsessed with finding the truth about his wife's murder. His pursuit takes him across the Midwest into Montana and directly into the path of respected cop Peter (Remar) and his wife, Kate (Unger). Minimal in dialogue and feel, the movie depends on Turturro to hold it together and he does so impressively, portraying Harry as a man so disturbed by grief that the chase becomes more important than finding the truth. Swedish director Refn's American debut.
