Hitchcock


There are only 2 reasons you need to see the movie Hitchcock if at all. First Anthony Hopkins gives an amazing performance as Hitchcock. Second reason is if you want to see how he went about making the movie Psycho. That’s it! The movie is poorly scripted and does not tell you much about the man. All the actors involved are “A” List and does the best they can with the script. Even Jessica Biel (Mrs. Justin Timberlake) gives her first decent performance in years. Director Sasha Gervasi focuses on the love story between Hitchcock and wife Alma Reville, played by the great Helen Mirren, during the filming of Psycho in 1959.


Verdict:
Hopkins and Mirren are great but need better material. This movie was better than the HBO Hitchcock movie but not by much.
This should have gone straight to DVD or premiere on Showtime.
