Below expectations!

gridoon

"Best Seller" is yet another movie that had good potential, theoretically, but the final product just doesn't meet our expectations. The casting certainly appears promising, and James Woods gives a magnetic performance as a brutal, vicious yet also vulnerable and three-dimensional professional killer, but the movie seems to lack a clear purpose (and a point), maybe because the story is SO thin. On the whole, an interesting but unsatisfying and ultimately mediocre picture.

score 5/10
