Second-Story Man (2011)
captivating thriller
I have seen this movie three times. The second time, I was surprised to find that I appreciated it so much more. The third time, I was prepared to be bored; however, I found myself completely wrapped up in the dilemma of the main character. His struggles with these feelings of revenge really captivated me and I found the ending particularly powerful. The score is unobtrusive but perfectly reflects the emotions portrayed. It speaks volumes without being distracting - exactly what a score should do. I will be looking for the main actors in other films. It will be interesting to see the breadth of their performances. Zaira Crystal is a natural and bears watching in the future. Second Story Man fleshes out a complicated emotion with a minimum of dialogue- a real credit to all involved.
