Likely divide critics and viewers, this is a simpler and less layered film than other works from Egoyan, who seems unable to infuse the psychological thriller with his characteristic humor and irony.

I didn't find "Felicia's Journey" as creepy as other reviews suggested, I mean that the story is not absurd and not so difficult to pin down after half a movie, but for sure Bob Hoskins does a great job in his character. That is what makes the film pretty good. Slowly you will brought in his mind, and that is the main fascination of this journey.

Enjoyed this film but I felt the ending could have been better. Worth seeing just to hear Bob Hoskins doing a Brummie accent! 3 stars from me.

A gripping look into the mind of a serial killer with a riveting performance by Bob Hoskins and adroit direction by Atom Egoyan. Elaine Cassidy gives a touchingly beautiful quality to a film that shows the human need for love and companionship as the motive for horrendous crime committed by a man with a fragile psyche. Can a film evoke chills and sympathy for the same character? This one does, and does it successfully.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Not only is this complex & creepy 90's thriller worth watching , but the DVD's audio commentary by director Atom Egoyon actually enhances the film after you've watched it
