Title: Brainiac Thriller
Review: "Anamorph" is a brainiac thriller where the killer's cleverness vies with sheer level of brutality. Willem Dafoe stars as Stan Aubray, a cop who was burned out five years earlier with a grizzly crime and is dragged back into a current copycat killing. Or is it a copycat? Scott Speedman who was Felicity's TV love interest plays Carl Uffner, Stan's new partner. Carl isn't sure whether to trust Stan or suspect him. Clea Duvall fromZodiac (Widescreen Edition)& TV's "Heroes" plays Sandy Strickland, who gets caught up in the crime. Deborah Harry from the rock band Blondie had previously worked with director Henry Miller on "I Remember You Now." She has a cameo as a neighbor. Peter Stormare who was so impressive as the hair-triggered killer inFargo (Special Edition)plays Blair Collet. While the art analysis is interesting, the film falls short as I cared less about Stan and the victims and was mostly turned off to the brutality. Ultimately, the bang was not worth the buck. Taxi!
