moi-23 Review of The Deliverance of Elaine

The Deliverance of Elaine (1996 TV Movie)

when I read the comments on this film

[13 November 2004]

Spoiler Alert I watched this film last week and found it absorbing. Chris Cooper always turns in an excellent performance no matter what the material and Lloyd Bridges played the nastiest character so well his murder came as no surprise to me. The problem I had was not with the film but the comments made by the previous viewer who expressed confusion as to the motivations of the character "Elaine" played by Mare Winningham and the ending. The confusion was caused because Cooper's character did not kill the father, some-one else did! Based on my "spoiling" of the "mild spoiler" I would recommend this film because the ultimate resolution and the ending are top notch.
