Скучноватый, под конец приколы полетели но все равно не то, хотя ощущение или даже после вкусия от фильма остались

The movie was doing very well until the actual climax, then it just gets completely stale.. Great actors, just not an unbelievably great movie.

I somehow missed this movie and only just now saw it in 2024. If one takes this movie for what it purports to be, it's actually quite good. Mark Wahlburg plays the "bad boy that the innocent girl can't see" perfectly, and Reese Witherspoon was the perfect choice for that girl. The movie is well done, and although predictable, quite enjoyable. The "good guys" all get a chance at heroism when the movie comes to a crescendo, which is always fun. Don't go into it anticipating some cinematic masterpiece, and you will come away quite satisfied. Besides, it's enjoyable to see these two famous actors together in a film made so early on in their careers.

Hot, possessive, boyfriend: gone wrong. There are times of excitement, and there are times in which you want to see more. It's a great cast, and this had the foundation to be a great movie; unfortunately, I expected more. Not a bad film, and if you are looking to pass the time, I will not skip past this.

Perfect nostalgic 90’s soundtrack, solid performances and genuinely disturbing movie about the dangers of abusive relationships and dating men who raise red flags early on. The location is gorgeous and the House only ads to the terror that is later to come. Both Reese and Mark give great performances, especially Mark who plays a brooding psychopath with ease. I’ll always love this movie and the scene on the roller coaster while Wild Horses plays is just top notch perfection. The dad is low key creepy and I think that’s part of the point.

I saw this movie when I was 16 at a friday night showing with my friends. I'm not sure if it's nostalgia or if its actually awesome but the movie is so fun and holds up very well. It centers on a young woman named Nicole (Witherspoon) who discovers first love with the rebellious David (Wahlberg). At first he's charming, romantic and caring but than his mean streak comes out and he becomes obsessive. Obsessive to the point that he would do anything to be with her. It's an intense thriller and a touch lifetimey but the movie does touch on adolescence, growing up and first love. It all leads up to an edge of your seat finale. Wahlberg is sexy, psychotic and solid in the flick and really does show alot of promise, Witherspoon is pretty good but has some questionable moments. Alyssa Milano also makes quite an impression as her best friend Margot. Look the movie may be a bit predictable but there's a reason why they keep making movies like this. Because when they are done right they can be electrifying entertainment and this is done right. Budget: $6.5M Box Office: $20.8M 9/10

Starring a very young Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon, Fear is a decent film and Mark Wahlberg gives a truly chilling performance as David McCall. It's ultimately a forgettable film but its worth checking out sometime.

Verdict: Love is a Thriller Story: When teenagers fall in love we all know that nothing much will come of it when one part turns into a bit of a psycho. We do get to see the highs of the relationship and how in love the couple are, but we also see the dark side once they start to break up. We see how one man snaps once he can’t get what he wants and will go to great lengths in his mind games against the family before things get out of hand. It turns from a dull school girl romance into a home invasion psychological thriller. (7/10) Actor Review Mark Wahlberg: David the charmer with a dark side because when love takes over he will stop at nothing to get his girl, disposing of whoever gets in his way. Good performance here showing his darker side and range early on in his career. (8/10) mark Reese Witherspoon: Nicole the sweet sixteen year old who falls for bad boy David, not noticing that he could have a darker side and wonders why he gets mad when she just stops seeing him, very naïve young girl. Good performance from Reese showing she was going onto bigger and better things. (7/10) reese William Petersen: Steve the architect father of Nicole who becomes suspicious of David early on but gets drawn into his mind games. Good protective father performance showing he always had the authority role down to a tee. (7/10) petersen Director Review: James Foley – Good direction mixing genres as the film unfolds. (7/10) Thriller: Once the slow romantic story first finishes the thrills really start. (8/10) Settings: Some good isolated locations leaving the family trapped while the invasion happens. (7/10) Suggestion: This is one to try, fans of the actors should go back and see their early work and it is a solid thriller. (Try) Best Part: Wahlberg is frightening in the lead villain. Worst Part: Slow starting. Kill Of The Film: School friend. Scariest Scene: The dog scene. Believability: People can become that obsessed but I think this is a bit too far. (3/10) Chances of Tears: No (0/10) Chances of Sequel: No Post Credits Scene: No Oscar Chances: No Box Office: $21 Million Runtime: 1 Hour 35 Minutes Tagline: He’s dying to date you Overall: Solid Thriller About A Lost Love
