One of my all time favorites.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I'm a big fan of Refn, love the Pusher Trilogy, Bleeder, Bronson etc.But this, this was bloody awful.It goes NOWHERE.We have excruciatingly drawn out scenes and I got sick to death of John Turturro's pathetic gazes. His acting was pretty dismal as well.Where is the story? Where? Fear X is about a man who tries to find out why/who killed his wife. Yet, onwards from this 'plot' the whole film falls apart, not that it was together in the first place.Fear X tries to be suspenseful but you are wanting the pace of the film to speed up and get down to some action of some sort.Like I said there are long drawn out scenes where characters just stand there and take forever to deliver their tedious lines. BORING.It isn't clever film making, it isn't thrilling, its bloody boring.I found FEar X to be completely void of anything interesting. It just crawls along delivering nothing but stupid camera work that looks like its trying to be something from The Shining.And the ending was just the icing of the cake. Absolutely abysmal.Refn and co, this truly is a stinker.

I enjoyed Turturo and Remar and 3/4 of the film was top notch i this genre. As others have said, the ending destroyed the movie by leaving too much to interpretation.Theory 1 - Harry Caine and his OCD had a psychotic break with reality which was climaxed at the hotel and his meeting with Remar's character in Montana. Problem with this is why have Remar talking with other characters about the unintentional death of Caine's wife because a dirty cop had to be taken out.Theory 2 - There was a "Code of Silence" conspiracy by law enforcement and everything that was shown to happen(meeting Remar at the hotel, getting shot, going into some rage and blanking out?) and Caine's confession of murdering the cop(Remar) that killed his wife all actually happened but the police covered it up. If so, then where is his bullet wound? How much time had elapsed? This movie worked like a finely built superhighway that was left unfinished.....

I loved this movie.I thought the character played by John Turturro was about coming to terms with the death of his wife. His wife dies in a random way, and we want there to be some purpose for every thing in life. Sometimes, there isn't a purpose.Harry (John Turturro) copes with the loss of his wife in his own way, burying his grief under layers of denial.The movie is about him coming face to face with that denial.I give this movie 9.5 out of 10, if only because it was lacking some production value that more money would have given it.The movie went into distribution hell after completion. I'm glad that it has surfaced in DVD so that others may enjoy it.

Red hallways and dark corridors. This is all this "thriller" has to offer. And it's not even scary. It doesn't even change your idea of the movie for a second. Bottom line: Fear X is the worst, most boring film I have seen in my life.It tries to tell the story of a man whose wife was notoriously murdered. He looks at the surveillance tape showing her death, he has senseless visions, he even sneaks into the house across the street and searches in there too. Well, at the beginning of the film, it creates the idea that he is really determined to find his wife's killer, but he doesn't look hard enough. Fear X is one of those movies that you can easily fall asleep during, and you can wake up and still follow the story perfectly. Most of the scenes last way too long, without those awkward silences packed in there, this failure of a film would be about 50 minutes long. I must say that I'm surprised that I got through the whole thing. I fell asleep halfway for only ten minutes, but I didn't miss anything. And I know. The movie starts out as a thriller and ends as a huge mess unfolding before your slowly imploding eyes. If you want to see the movie, rent it. Don't buy it. It's definitely not worth it.
