A super film..worth seeing for Jack Nicholsons performance

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2011)

I have seen 'The Shining'many times...its a fairly long film and speaks volumes for the actors performances to hold it all together, Jack is as usual superb and portrays his character very well.Its a film that is worth seeing more than once because the first time it will probably scare you, then the second time you see gems that you didn't see first time,sometimes Jack Nicholson makes his character half way between a vision of nastiness, mania, and even comedy, the plot is straight forward, jack,his wife and stepson have to look after a deserted Midwest hotel,in winter where for six months it is snowed in,with the only contact to the outside world being a two way radio. All in all a classic movie, and unlike many of its era it doesn't seem dated, and has one of the most famous lines in the history of cinema.Its not really a horror story, but see it first time, and it will make you jump.
