Cast : Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom
Cronenberg risked too much with this film. If you think about it, I could have left a huge shit like so many movies based on stories by Mr. King that neither won nor triumphed in film and novels, but nothing is further from reality, The Dead Zone is one of the largest deployments of ideas and genius of this great Canadian director.
Very beginning of the tape we are involved in an absolutely great atmosphere created by the characters and the great history that we witness in just hours. The issue of foreign powers, Cronenberg takes, as usual, in an extraordinary manner, making everyday, normal, or if you prefer, "credible".
The quality of the characters created is exceptional, this is a constant in this director. We also see that many of the ways in which we could have told this story are easily discarded and that is appreciated, and much, because in the film is preferred to give the viewer the opportunity to discover for himself and not us get everything chewed.
As for Christopher Walken, is immense after the accident and immerses us in a masterful performance that goes in crescendo throughout the film.
The music is very good, as expected, but we miss some eighties guitar as law in Cronenberg.
If you have not seen this work of art becomes my recommendation eighties for Christmas.
