Rear Window (1998)
** (out of 4)
After a car accident a man (Christopher Reeve) is left paralyzed and begins killing time by spying on his neighbors when he thinks he hears one of them murdered. There's some interesting aspects to this remake of the Hitchcock classic but at the end of the day there are just way too many problems for the film to really work. Reeve is very good in the part, although it took me some time to get involved with the film because the early scenes of him in rehab and dealing with being paralyzed where rather depressing to watch. Daryl Hannah is wasted in the Grace Kelly role and Robert Forster's roll as the detective is very badly written. It was interesting how the filmmakers used an upscaled apartment for a crippled but the actual murder case is very boring and the ending is a big letdown.
