The film "15 Minutes" illustrates the downside of this concept in a vigorous, sly black comedy/actioner that makes some good satirical points while boasting at least two bravura action sequences. Writer/director John Herzfeld stacks the deck unnecessarily in places, but his tale of literal and tabloid overkill is gripping nonetheless. Eddie Flemming (Robert De Niro) is a New York homicide detective and mini-celebrity, thanks to both his "solve" rate and his cooperation with the news media. Eddie’s path intersects with that of Fire Dept. arson nvestigator Jordy Warsaw (Edward Burns) when a building is burned down in a futile attempt to cover up a double murder.

Few writers and/or directors seem to understand how to layer in clues, how to provide plausible suspects, and how to steer our attention away from the truth.

Jackson, Robin Wright Penn release year: 2000 film rating: Four Stars reviewed by: Abbie Bernstein It is no exaggeration to say that "Unbreakable" is enough to restore one’s faith in the art of storytelling and in the possibilities of finding new, powerful ways to reimagine a classic premise. The problem here is to describe exactly what it is that writer/director M.

A sleek, elegant, funny and very suspenseful movie, it's also original, imaginative and perfectly realized. This DVD is the best way so far for a home video buff to own the film; it's likely to remain the best way for years to come. And the disc is laden with fascinating extras.

The movie was directed by Guy Hamilton, who rode his directing 'Goldfinger,' much further than would seem possible, and produced by Richard Goodwin and John Brabourne, who had made Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot into a movie favorite (for a while).
