Suspenseful. Intriguing. The film tacitly demands one&#8217;s rapt attention. I couldn&#8217;t take my eyes off the screen lest I would miss something.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6593\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185459.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185459\" width=\"209\" height=\"249\" \/>Jack the Ripper. The mere name brings chills and instills fear and curiosity.\u00a0 For those of you unfamiliar with the history of the Ripper, his saga began on April 3, 1888 stretching to February 13, 1891 (and lasting for over a century) when no less than eleven murders were committed in Whitechapel and surrounding areas of London, England. Over the past 100 years or so, historians have added another seven murders to the Ripper saga.\u00a0 Each victim was a prostitute.\u00a0 Two of the victims\u2019 throats were cut followed by bodily mutilation.\u00a0 Strangling may also have been involved.\u00a0 Three victims had their internal organs removed which gave rise to theories that the killer had surgical knowledge.\u00a0 One had her heart removed.\u00a0 And each time the bodily mutilation would get progressively worse.\u00a0 After the murders, messages would be found written on walls, messages written in blood with pieces of cloth from the victims\u2019 clothing.\u00a0 Handwritten notes penned in red ink were even sent to the media (of course) and police by the killer.\u00a0 The crimes were never solved which bodes well for legend, folklore, authors and filmmakers, starting with English author, Marie Belloc Lowndes, who in 1903, penned the successful novel \u201cThe Lodger\u201d.\u00a0 Based on the Jack the Ripper murders, this was a story about a London family who suspects that their upstairs lodger is a mysterious killer known as \u201cThe Avenger.\u201d\u00a0 So successful and potent was the novel that in 1927 Alfred Hitchcock made it into a movie, followed by Maurice Elvey in 1932, John Brahm in 1944 and now, in 2009, David Ondaatje.\u00a0 The key to Ondaatje\u2019s vision, however, is that he has successfully adapted his screenplay into present day with a very liberal, and very intriguing, interpretation.\u00a0 Set in West Hollywood, California, the sights and sounds are recognizable to us all.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen and Bunting live a quiet life in West Hollywood.\u00a0\u00a0 At first blush one sees that something is not quite right in their household.\u00a0 Ellen is skittish, unsure, dowdy.\u00a0 Bunting, a security guard of some sort, leaves the house early in the morning, returning late at night, always taking a black bag with him.\u00a0 His mantra to Ellen is \u201ctake your medicine\u201d.\u00a0 Their house is large and clearly, at one time well kept and prestigious.\u00a0 Clearly, they are in need of extra income which is evidenced by a \u201cFor Rent\u201d sign on their front gate.\u00a0 As luck would have it, a renter, or lodger as Ellen calls him, does arrive at the door one morning.\u00a0 A handsome man with piercing eyes, a killer smile, and toting a black leather satchel, Malcolm exudes mystery and fuels long dead sexual desire and fantasy in Ellen.\u00a0 With a $1,000 cash payment, Malcolm has a quiet place to stay, undisturbed, while Ellen has \u201ca friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6594\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185512.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185512\" width=\"208\" height=\"245\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Detective Chandler Manning is on the edge.\u00a0 A driven man, an obsessed man, a rather frenetic man, he is estranged from his daughter and his wife is in a mental hospital.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Partnered with Officer Street, a rookie with 14 months on the force, Manning jumps head first, taking Street with him, into murders that are occurring in West Hollywood.\u00a0 Murders involving hookers.\u00a0 Murders that mirror those committed some years back which Manning investigated and for which the suspect was convicted and put to death.\u00a0 Murders that are duplicative in timing, style and precision of Jack the Ripper.\u00a0 Is this a copycat serial killer of Manning\u2019s previous convicted killer?\u00a0 Or did Manning make a mistake in his earlier investigation?\u00a0 Could the wrong man have been put to death?\u00a0 Or is this a new \u201cJack the Ripper\u201d come to life?\u00a0 Alone and seeming to be coming apart at the seams, Manning reaches out to his less than welcoming daughter &#8211; much like Ellen reaches out to the mysterious Malcolm, a man who leaves the house late at night and returns early in the morning, always toting his black leather satchel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6595\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185526.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185526\" width=\"378\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185526.jpg 378w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185526-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/>As for the acting &#8211; let&#8217;s just start with Hope Davis. WOW! She danced a fine line between fantasy and reality with the grace and finesse of a prima ballerina. Is she sane? Is she not sane? Is her husband trying to make her think she&#8217;s insane?\u00a0\u00a0 As with the character development itself and the unfolding of each character like the layers of an onion being revealed, Davis brings that same methodical styling to Ellen.\u00a0 Brilliant.\u00a0 Donal Loque is one of my favorite supporting lead actors\/character actors. As Bunting, he gives one of his darkest performances to date with a character with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.\u00a0 He is fascinating to watch and with each scene raises more questions as to who Bunting really is and what is he up to.\u00a0 Quite frankly, very cool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6597\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185608.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185608\" width=\"379\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185608.jpg 379w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185608-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having just seen Simon Baker in SEX AND DEATH 101 a few months back, to see him here playing the calculating, mysterious but charming lodger, Malcolm,\u00a0 just demonstrates the range he has an actor. He has minimal dialogue. Minimal screen time. Yet, he conveys so much with just a look; just a smile from one corner of his mouth. He exudes deliberate mystery &#8211; and sex appeal. Hell, I&#8217;d rent to him if he showed up at my door!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6596\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185551.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185551\" width=\"206\" height=\"251\" \/>Shane West, whom I adore, is pretty much a one trick pony of energy and exuberance no matter what role he plays.\u00a0\u00a0 As Street he is pretty much the same character he plays in ER. I kept thinking, just put him in scrubs and I could be watching him at home on tv. But it&#8217;s that initial lazy energy that he brings to a character that makes him endearing. Makes you want to root for him to jive into a situation head first with gusto &#8211; which is something his characters always do and do well, and here is no exception.\u00a0 Alfred Molina&#8217;s performance as Manning is interesting to say the least, but, unfortunately, he didn&#8217;t sell me on his playing a detective. He did however pique my curiosity and keep me on my toes wondering whether or not he was the killer.<\/p>\n<p>A small role, Mel Harris steps in as Manning\u2019s wife Margaret and seems merely to be unpreserved window dressing in Margaret\u2019s incapacitated mental state.\u00a0 Of course, requisite was the casting of Philip Baker Hall as Manning\u2019s boss Captain Smith who fills any role of authority brilliantly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6598 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185646.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185646\" width=\"376\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185646.jpg 376w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185646-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I would never in a million years suspect this is Ondaatje\u2019s first writing\/directing gig! The film is polished. The script is intriguing on so many levels.\u00a0\u00a0 He does an impeccable job of bringing the story into the present and for anyone even remotely interested in Jack the Ripper, the film is an excellent little primer. But beyond that, his parallels to England&#8217;s Whitechapel and West Hollywood are tied up very neatly &#8211; albeit you have to pay attention to catch some of the clues. He had my attention from the getgo.\u00a0 Although personally, I would have liked more information and parallels on the Ripper killings incorporated into the present day murders.\u00a0 The characters are fully fleshed out (but for &#8220;the lodger&#8221; who appropriately remains a mystery and plays into a psychosis argument for Hope Davis&#8217; character), but most importantly, is the manner in which each characteristic or trait of each is revealed. Slowly, deliberately and with methodical pacing &#8211; just like the murders themselves are committed.\u00a0\u00a0 Also a bit lacking was the backstory on Manning and how his wife ended up slitting her wrists and landing in the looney bin. That was extremely unclear and a weak link in the story. Quite frankly, I think the wife could actually have been eliminated all together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6599 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185659.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185659\" width=\"377\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185659.jpg 377w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185659-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is actually one of the few thrillers where I did not know who the actual killer was\u00a0 until well into the film. The script and suspense is so meticulously crafted that at any given time, suspicion looms over Ellen, Manning, Malcolm and Bunting. Really keeps your mind thinking and ups the suspense factor exponentially. Tossing in a twist of the stalking of Manning&#8217;s daughter was icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk technical. Some of my biggest kudos go to the cinematography of David Armstong (crisp, clean, razor edged like the incisions of the killer) and the superb use by Ondaatje of time lapse and &#8220;focal blurring&#8221; in the opening montage. Spectacular look.\u00a0 Also notable is the use of color in the montage. Hand held camerawork only intensifies the suspense as do many of the close-ups on feet, walking, shoes&#8230;&#8230;..riveting. The attention to detail is particularly notable as to the paper used for the killer&#8217;s notes, the red ink, the pen nib even. And let&#8217;s not forget the interplay with the sound of the different shoes on the pavement as the victims were walking and being stalked. Another nice little touch; nice little detail.<\/p>\n<p>Even the score was appropriate to the tone of the film, effectively aiding in ratcheting up the tension and suspense.<\/p>\n<p>An intensely visual and sensory psychological thriller, THE LODGER will bring terror to your heart and challenge your own deductive reasoning skills at every turn.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s a killer!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6600 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185717-400x106.jpg\" alt=\"2009-01-29_185717\" width=\"400\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185717-400x106.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185717-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/2009-01-29_185717.jpg 409w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ellen &#8211; Hope Davis\u2028Chandler Manning &#8211; Alfred Molina<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm &#8211; Simon Baker\u2028Street &#8211; Shane West\u2028Bunting &#8211; Donal Logue<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by David Ondaatje.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: debbie lynn elias I take it as a good omen when less than one month into the new year, the thriller and horror movie genres have multiple films of exceptional quality hitting theatres around the country.\u00a0 One such film, THE LODGER, opens this week, and let me say right off the bat, this is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies","category-reviews"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
