5.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Jeff Fahey Film., December 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sketch Artist [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Young Jeff Fahey delivers an eloquent portrayal of a police sketch artist who realizes that the witness has just described his wife as the murderess. This is a fine example of how Fahey uses his whole body to portray the emotions of a man who cannot believe, investigates, and finally must believe that his beloved is a cold-blooded murderer. Daren't give away the ending, but it is most satisfying, and on the way, we are treated to a refreshingly subtle repetoire of skills: small facial changes, gestures, postures, and all out panic-runs describe the changes we all would go through before acting on the realization that the unthinkable is true.
Anyone would find this a fine movie. A must for Faheylovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I think your whiskey sucks", March 24, 2003

This review is from: Sketch Artist [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jeff Fahey is the sketch artist. A rich, important man has been murdered and Drew Barrymore is a witness who saw a woman that the police would like to talk to. She describes the woman to Fahey. As the sketch continues he finds he is drawing a picture of his wife (Sean Young). Daisy leaves, he folds up the picture and draws another which unfortunately looks like another woman who has done work for the deceased. As the story unfolds, Fahey is starting to look like the number one suspect. I wouldn't rate this show a "4" if it wasn't for the excellent musical score by Mark Isham. The soundtrack to this movie is one of the best. This story couldn't happen in real life. For one thing, Fahey withheld evidence in a felony investigation that got Daisy killed and should be charged with a felony himself. Fahey also gets way too lucky in this movie, everything seems to work out so coincidentally for him in the last half hour. Still, I think it's a good show, the music does a lot for many of the scenes.

This review is from: Sketch Artist [VHS] (VHS Tape)

You have to like this movie in order to love it obviously! Drew Barrymore makes a fine appearance for suspense. The main actor Jay for me was just an add-on to the movie. Sketch Artist should be a DVD and be more famous rather than staying dusted into the attic of piles of anonymous films like That Darn Cat off of Walt Disney. Drew's not awarded here whatsoever... that is so not right at all! If this movie aired right now and people saw it, it'd probably get a million views instead of being unknown. Amazon users or customers, tell everyone to put this on Facebook and make this movie popular or even ask someone to put this as a DVD for Heaven's sake!
