One Hour Photo may be more civilized than Taxi Driver, but it's just as effectively creepy. Like Martin Scorsese's classic, this riveting character study is so compassionately detailed that we sympathize with poor Sy Parrish (Robin Williams) even as he grows increasingly unhinged. Sy is a meticulously dedicated one-hour-photo technician, but the pictures he processes--particularly those belonging to the successful, seemingly happy family of Nina and Will Yorkin (Connie Nielsen, Michael Vartan)--turn into the unhealthiest kind of obsession. The Yorkins' snapshots portray a joyful life that the lonely and traumatized Sy could never hope to achieve, and he sinks deeper and deeper into the solace they bring... until evidence of infidelity turns him into a seething crucible of righteous indignation. Propelled by Williams's flawless escape from the feel-good schmaltz of earlier roles, One Hour Photo is a simmering tour de force, tempered by writer-director Mark Romanek for maximum psychological impact. --Jeff Shannon

Violent crime got so out of control from the 1970s into the mid 1990s, people did not care "why" anymore. All that attempted understanding and "rehibilitation" went out the window.
When you deal with a Manson or a Bin Ladin or just your garden veriaty sexual perditor, there is a lot of merit in this. These people are evil. You can't teach them empathy.
But Sy is not evil. He is just a sad, isolated man, one of those marginalized people who are so at a loss as to how to ... Read More

Robin Williams once again proves how good comedians can be at serious drama roles. Williams is especially adept at playing creepy characters, as he has done several times in the last 15 years.
Here, he plays "Sy, the photo guy," a lonely employee in the photo department of a suburban Target/Walt-Mart/K-Mart-whatever who lives vicariously through a nice family. Thepictures he has developed and printed for years makes him feel part of the family unit. So, when Sy discovers the husband ... Read More

This is an unusual thriller about an unusual character. robin williams plays the lonely photo developer at a wal mart type store. he ends up becoming a stalker of a family, but one that you can relate to. the filmakers somehow find a way to put everyone in the same boat of surburbian desolation. this movie does a spendid job of painting a modern kind of wasteland, dominated by materialism, consumerism and strip malls. photography serves as a kind of witness to the decay of modern living.

The Bottom Line:
Though the advent of digital photography may render the theme somewhat obsolete, this well-directed and acted horror film acts on the audience's fears convincingly for a majority of the film until the not-entirely successful ending.
Rating:  -
One Hour Photo is a movie where Robin Williams goes from being a funny guy in his other movies to being a creep. He plays a very lonely guy, and you would almost feel sorry for him--if he weren't so unhinged and potentially dangerous. The robot in 'Lost in Space' is waving his robot arms and screaming "Danger, Will Robinson."
Let's take a brief retrospective of Robin's career:
He is a stand up comedian in San Francisco, and in 1977 that leads to a couple of spots on "The Richard ... Read More
