A slow burning domestic thriller, Aaron Harvey's The Neighbour is a tense little movie with a captivating central performance from William Fichtner. Go to Full Review

James D @Richjay35 5d This was the worst movie!!! The Mike should pay me the salary he got for this movie because I feel like his acting cheated me out of my time. See more Kevin S Sep 28 The main character, Mike, seemed like he was on the mental health spectrum, but I don't think that was the intent. Much of the plot was poorly written and the characters unrealistic, especially Mike's wife, with her "major decision for Mike" seemingly coming out of nowhere and unreasonable. The payoff at the very end was not worth the boredom and cringe of sitting through this movie. See more Sep 19 I was under the impression this was a thriller See more Becks A Sep 2 Not really a thriller, more like a midlife crisis movie. Still, worth a watch! See more nick s @Nick_S Jun 9 Fichtner really lifted this movie. Some of the script was quite sharp too. Overall a quality production. However it was a real slow burner. Or maybe creeping glacier is a more accurate description. I didn't quite understand the wife's actions. Also it didn't feel like there was enough story to fill a feature... nothing much happens. See more Green C Feb 18 Fichtner is wonderful, as always. I wouldn't consider this a thriller though, more of an instropective of a man in crisis. Sad story. See more Read all reviews
