HIDE AND SEEK isn't the worst movie I've seen, I give it a "3", but when considering Robert DeNiro is the star I think it's fair to expect a little more from the actor who breathed life into such characters as Travis Bickle, Jimmy Conway, and the young Godfather. I will avoid the various reasons why this movie blows and instead plead...Beg...Urge DeNiro to consult me before taking roles in any other Hollywood fluff pieces.
Its depressing that a great living American actor is in movies such as HIDE AND SEEK and last year's GODSEND ("1"). This outrage must stop. DeNiro's commercial spot for the American Express Card has more depth and emotion that his last two movies. Does he need the cash? I can respect that, but please do movie fans a favor and be honest with us. Does he need the cash so he can donate to the Save the Yellow Tail Snail of Argentina Fund? Does he need the cash to donate to the ACLU? Does he need the cash to to add an 18th wing to his mansion? Although all of these causes are worthless and idiotic, it would be a better explanation than..."Gee, I think I can make movie audiences care and cheer for a crazy doctor wanting to clone his dead son by injecting the dead son's DNA into a womb of an unexpected woman", or "Wow, I get to play a character slowly going insane who thinks he's a child named Charlie...And terrorizing a little girl at the same time!!..Sign me up!" All I ask is...Bob, be honest with us.
One more rant regarding HIDE AND SEEK. Has an actress ever did less after an Oscar nomination than Elizabeth Shue?

This movie scared the hell out of me. It's not like the Ring where it's totally unbelievable and therefore not scary. Once the movie picked up I was on the edge of my seat. Pretty good date movie..girls are sexy when they're scared. Matt D.
personally i like Elizabeth Shue(http://www.most-wanted-movies.com/star/Elizabeth-Shue.aspx). See her filmography at Most Wanted Movies.
