A new rendition of the classic film 1955 by William Wylerthat starred Bogart , Fredric March, Martha Scott being released thirty-five years later and the result is a n average, violent and twisted story. It is based on a play written by Joseph Hayes and subsequent novel , he also wrote the script of the William Wyler film which is based this 1990 adaptation. The original source stage play was boxoffice smash hit in Broadway and won Tony Awards for Best Play and Best Direction. However, this latter 1990 rendition was critically poor received , panned by the reviewers and was a comercial failure , while Humphrey Bogart’s adaptation had awesome critics . Furthermore , there is another version 1967 by Ted Kotcheff with George Segal , Michael Conrad , Arthur Hill, Barry Primus. Interpretations in this last 1990 recounting are uniformly acceptable . Mickey Rourke plays the psychotic criminal ,though overacting at times . The marriage couple , Anthony Hopkins and Mimi Rogers are better than Rourke. While other secondaries as Kelly Lynch , David Morse , Elías Koteas Linsay Crouse , Dean Norris , John Finch give decent performances.

The motion picture was regularly directed by Michael Cimino . Ths deceased director was an artisan who made a few but enjoyable pictures with hits and failures , such as Heaven’s Gate , Thunderbolt and Lightfoot , The Sicilian , The Sunchaser and , of course , his biggest success : The Deer Hunter . Desperate Hours rating 5/ 10. The film will appeal to Michael Rourke and Anthony Hopkins fans .Read More
