Wonderful little surprise of a movie; good plot, great acting!
3 April 2000
THE SECRET LIFE OF ALGERNON is a surprise gem. It is a well acted, understated, and suspenseful black comedy reminiscent of Ambrose Bierce’s best stories. Algernon is an eccentric recluse, the great grandson of a famous Egyptologist. His lonely life is interrupted by the sudden appearance of two mysterious characters, one a friend from youth, the other a beautiful woman who claims to be an Egyptologist. Bizarre happenings begin, and Algernon deals with problems in very interesting ways.

Is Algernon crazy or "attuned"? See the movie and decide. The movie has action, and enough twists and puzzles to satisfy fans of mystery and suspense movies. I'd rate this 7 out of 10 stars.
