The latest member of this not-too-exclusive club is James Foley's Fear , a kinetic, visually dazzling thriller that's actually a notch above many of its predecessors --....As predictable, formulaic thrillers go, Fear at least has a few things going for it.....William Peterson and Amy Brenneman are fine in their parental roles.....Alyssa Milano, who took the unusual step from TV sitcoms to soft porn direct-to-video flicks, is a little overwrought, but not too bad.....Finally, director James Foley ( Glengarry ...

The Boston Phoenix
Either way James Foley's Fear retreads that familiar American nightmare -- the troubled middle-class family whose tensions explode when a sexually threatening stranger invades.
Dad (William Petersen as an older Eddie Haskell) is pissed, and all follows with weary predictability and implausibility.

The main problem with "Fear" is that fifteen minutes into it, you could probably make a list of all the things that are going to happen.
In "Fear" he exhibits some strong mastery of the cinematic art, but he is too hindered by a contrived script penned by writer/director Christopher Crowe, who also wrote and directed the implausible 1992 psycho-thriller "Whispers In The Dark".

The first half of "Fear" nicely develops and segues.
Witherspoon is a good, gentile actress who commands her role well, despite the obvious naivete she wears on her sleeve.
The involvement of Wahlberg's crew is completely unlikely and ridiculous.

Ook al overdrijft het vaderfiguur in Fear zijn bezorgdheid een beetje, de moraal is te duidelijk, wat toch weer een vrij brave film oplevert en niet een zogenaamd waarheidsgetrouw beeld van de Amerikaanse jeugd.
Nicole (Reese Witherspoon) is zo'n beetje het gemiddelde brave Amerikaanse schoolmeisje.
