A true classic

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2015)

Here's Johnny! A brilliant, intense thriller.
Written by Stephen King, directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Jack Nicholson: the ingredients are all there. And what a combination they make! Fantastic water-tight plot.
Great direction by Kubrick - the intensity builds and builds, and the settings and camera angles are spot on every time.
And then there is, of course, Jack Nicholson's perfectly controlled yet over-the-top-intense performance. Masterful.
Good support from Shelley Duvall, but this really is the Jack Nicholson Show...
A true classic.
