Dancer Upstairs, The
USA 2002, 127 minutes
Dir. John Malkovich
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Suspense/Crime, Drama / Hostages & Terrorism
Feat. Javier Bardem
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.

(Good Enough). Showing 1-2 of 2 member reviews.
3 stars (Good Enough) Competent, but generally slow with only Javier Bardem's performance lifting it from the doldrums. ~Wizzums
2 stars (Good Try) The screenplay is contrived at times and its second half weakens badly. ~Tubbs
