Two Interesting Movies - Psychopathic Profiles

[Annette1]

Hello All.

Here are two rather "off the wall" movies.

Under Suspicion - 1991 Stars Liam Neeson Takes place in Brighton, England 1959. An entertaining "whodunit" with lots of hidden clues and twists and turns. Neeson plays a disgraced ex-police officer turned PI who makes his living documenting adulterous (falsified) affairs to present as evidence in divorce cases. Is Tony psychopathic or just a sleezy con man?

The Man Who Wasn't There - 2001 Stars Billy Bob Thornton Takes place in Santa Rosa, California in 1949. Coen Brothers neo-noir film in black & white. Thornton's character is Ed Crane who is a barber. Very interesting character study. However, this film moves slooowly.

Trailers exist for both movies for those interested.

Yes, we watched that one a few years ago... very strange. Couldn't decide whether the guy was an OP or a psychopath victim (wife being psychopath) or what.

Any Stanley Kubrick movie I've seen always has lots of interesting psychopaths in it. David Mamet is also good on psychopaths, IMO, in his plays and movies.

Half Broken Things is an almost gentle drama. 3 troubled souls manage to find one another through acts of kindness, leading to the only happiness any of them have ever known. Avoid spoilers. I want to read the book now.
