Mary Reilly (1996)
I thought this was a great movie
10 April 2003
I thought "Mary Reilly" was a great horror movie. I don't particularly care for Julia Roberts's acting and there are very few roles of hers that I like, I really liked her in this one. She did a good job with her accent and she played the role convincingly. I didn't really care for Glenn Close's part although I do think she is a great actress. But in my honest opinion the best performance in this movie was that of John Malkovich. He did a great job at playing the calm Dr.Jekyll and the evil Mr.Hyde. Not too many actors can play the role of two people but he pulled it off. He was scary as Mr.Hyde just like he was supposed to be and I don't think he was over the top. I thought the ending was sad although I couldn't quite figure out what exactly killed Dr.Jekyll/Mr.Hyde. It was heartbreaking to see Mary crying on his chest when she heard his heart stop beating. Anyways. Even though this movie did have its boring moments and it was slow-moving at times, I thorougly enjoyed "Mary Reilly" and all the actors did a fine job. Well, thanks for reading my review! Bye!
