Negative Positive
Title: Kurt Russell does it all with his face.
Review: As much as I like the storyline, what makes this film is the fine job Kurt Russell does with only a half-dozen or so lines. It is the lines on his face that convey what is going on inside this charactor whose only feelings are "fear and discipline". This is a terrific story of awakening humanity in an individual deprived from birth of such things, and some of the best scenes are between Russell and Connie Nelson's character as he tries to fit into the frightening world of normal life. I knocked off a couple of stars for "borrowed" plot lines from similar-themed films, and gave one back for Russell's fine performance.
Is the review positive or negative?
