4.0 out of 5 stars An undiscovered gem of British Cinema, July 26, 2001

This review is from: Paper Mask [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This wonderful little thriller from over ten years ago was largely overlooked when it was first released, although I did manage to catch a look at it when it hit theatres. Then, as now, I was very impressed with its rather terrifying story about a young and ambitious hospital janitor (played wonderfully by Paul McGann) unhappy with his lot in life and seizing upon the opportunity of a lifetime of becoming what he really wants to be - a doctor, but with frighteningly tragic results. The film is tightly directed, scripted and acted by a first rate British cast which includes the always wonderful Tom Wilkinson and the 'delicious' Amanda Donohoe - probably more famous for her rather risque role in the TV series LA Law from some years back. If you're in the mood for a menacing, un-nerving thriller without the traditional twists and predictable Hollywood storyline, pop this little beauty in your machine and enjoy some classy British movie making. You'll also love Paul McGann's banjo version of the classic Platter's song "The Great Pretender' - so appropriate for his character.
