Blind Revenge

Tom Continue and Darryl Hannah star in A Closed Book, also known as Blind Revenge, from 2009. This film was of interest to many because it is the work of director Raul Ruiz, who died in 2011.

Conti is Sir Paul, a famous writer who was blinded in an accident in Thailand. He advertises for an amanuensis, and a young woman (Darryl Hannah) applies for and gets the job.

It doesn't take much to realize she has an agenda. She lies to him and tells him things like Madonna was murdered, O. J. committed suicide, and Donald Trump converted to Muslim.

I found her agenda easy to guess. When it unfolds, for me anyway, it wasn't much of a surprise. A twist was thrown in. I didn't really see the need for it. Had the Hannah character been more sympathetic, it might've had more of an impact on me.

I didn't think this was very good.

This was the last film of actor Simon MacCorkindale, and Broadway musical star Elaine Paige had a role in it as well.
