****Couple of spoilers...if you plan on seeing this, don't read****
When I first saw the trailer for "One Hour Photo" I was expecting a horror film about a crazed photo developer. Instead we get a story about this man named Seymour "Cy" Parris, who is literally obsessed with his job. But he takes interest into his customers as well, one family in particular, The Yorkins. He takes so much interest, that he makes doubles of pictures they develop, Follows them home..watches there activities..the usual Stalker material.
The movie goes on to show how "Cy" is an alienated person in life...deprived of friendship..No family backround. He's overall just an empty guy, looking for friendship, and ultimately this family "The Yorkins" He has all these dreams of being "Uncle Cy" ...Aww..
I think the movie is great, it kinda kept you on the edge of your seat, It had a very easy going, intriguing storyline. Most of all you just wanted to see what Mr. "Cy" Was all about.
Cy ends up losing his job at the photo area, and he loses control of his emotions as well. And that's when the movie took kinda a bad turn. It got dark..And things like adultery, Assault, Attempted murder..These are brought into the picture.
Now, overall, I did like the movie. I only have one problem...the very end of the movie, Like the whole outcome of the family. Will Yorkin (Michael Vartan) Has been committing adultery. Once Cy finds this out, his perfect family is ruined. So he goes on a rampage to teach Mr. Yorkin a lesson. So, CY does a lot of mean things to him...Cy gets arrested..Okay
The whole movie lead on you to think that Cy was looking for this family to take him in. It's unbelievable they decide to after what he did to Mr. Yorkin, and his petafile like instincts...not exactly flattering, more like creepy. 7/10 stars
