The Safe House - Expositions

Our Review:
Buy a pair of socks, grab some cotton swabs and, oh, don't forget to visit the psychopath behind the photo counter on your way out. Or else. Robin Williams further develops his dark side (Death to Smoochy, Insomnia) as a film processor in a sterile megamart who obsesses over a certain family via their shiny, happy photos. But when he learns that life in the household isn't as picture perfect as the snapshots, things get ugly. Director Mark Romanek keeps this psychological drama's pace and style sterile, and (thankfully) Williams keeps it toned down. That makes it all the more twisted and creepy, even as the film slips into some trite explanations later on. One Hour Photo is a picture show worth taking in.
