Dancer Upstairs, The

 

USA 2002, 127 minutes
Dir. John Malkovich
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Suspense/Crime, Drama / Hostages & Terrorism

 

Aroview: John Malkovich debuts as a director with this slow-burn police thriller played out in the humid atmosphere of an unamed South American country.

On the trail of a Maoist super-terrorist, detective Javier Bardem gives a contained performance of a professional also facing personal struggles and a love-affair on the side. While not really engaging on a political level except in the broadest sense, this delivers on atmosphere to impressive effect.
