A recently paralyzed architect, Jason Kemp, believes he has witnessed a murder from his apartment window. Jason’s colleague, Claudia, quickly becomes his partner in trying to solve the mysterious puzzle that lies in the apartment across the way. The more-than-patient detective, Moore, grudgingly responds to their repeated calls and accusations, but believes Jason’s imagination is getting the best of him. Determined to uncover the truth, Jason continues to dig deeper – eventually finding himself locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Really fair review of a striking actor and riveting Hitchcock intrigue. Thanks, just what I was looking for once viewing it a couple times after not knowing it even existed. The only unconvincing matter was Robert Forster which I believe could’ve added to the twist of the plot by making him part of the criminal element. You know, crooked cop out to make a name for himself or score some illicit jackpot. It’s there, high end art.
So, Reeves ends up carrying the story. No surprises. But, does the technology angle add anything to the stifled protagonist? Other than causing the initial problem and getting in the way of an escape, maybe not. Does Daryl Hannah make his life easier or the film brighter? Probably as much as the starring head nurse. Take away the art element and the bombshell, does the story still work? It only paralyzes the film, I think.
I only know Reeves as Superman. Never seen any of his other touted performances. I believe it is a step down for him in light of the circumstances. I wonder if he could’ve surprised his audience by leaving behind a pristine voice acting rendition of a literary classic? Reeves is on par with Hitchcock in that respect.
