One Hour Photo

I know that I don't really like films that much, but this one came on TV at a time when there wasn't much else on, and I was drawn in. And then it finished and I realised how truly lame it was - there didn't seem to be much in the way of 'psychological thrill' except for the rather obvious 'twist' of him having been abused by his father. I think I was overwhelmed by the fact that Robin Williams was not being annoying, and lulled into a false sense of enjoyment which did not last beyond the denouement, fizzling out and making me realise that actually the overly dramatic man telling us that 'One Hour Photo will be back shortly' was by far the most enjoyable element of the whole film.
