The performance of the main actor is perfect. You feel his genuine kindness being strained and how much pressure he's got on his shoulders as he's trying to get clear of the gheto life. You sense his will to escape the dealing business and his crave for a better life. His descent into hell serves as an exemple and aims to deliver a positive message. The cast is without flaws. The story is strong. It's an important drama.

The Stalker plays well with how fear can be misleading. The tension grows exponentially in the nice mystery thriller that reminded me of John Carpenter's work. I love the use of the music, it really helip adding to the tension. The plot gets more and more complexe as the movie keeps inroducing more creepy characters. You end up having suspicions on everybody before you know who is the stalker...and who he's actually stalking.

What an amazing surprise! I thought the cinematography was impeccable. What a mysterious and captivating music and premise, out of a good Tim Burton film (the openning reminded me somehow of The Sleepy Hollow, storytelling wise!) Was this movie fully storyboarded? Cause it sure looks like it was! Some shots are so well thought of and help build the tension. The whole film creates a very high suspense and almost without a single dialogue! The perfect exemple of the famous screewriting quote : show, don't tell. I was hooked from the first minute! The way the whole plot was unwrapping, with such a finesse made me think of "The Machinist". Definetly the same kind of tension. Bravo!
