What a startling film, you know? Like you, I've strayed away from watching One Hour Photo for years based on it's subject matter. But let me say, I did the unthinkable and gave it a watch, and boy was it worth it. Robin Williams knocks it out of the ball as Sy the photo guy who has dedicated his life to giving families the best customer service and photo quality at his job every day. His boss is a jerk, the same jerk from Office Space, and things start to spiral out of control. I coaxed my best friend Leet Larry into watching it, telling him there would be babes in the film. Well, not really. Larry thought Sy was a completely normal guy and I was like, "Larry, are you watching the same movie I am!?" But it's true, Robin Williams is able to make a mentally plagued character have human qualities that still make you root for him as the protagonist, against all odds. The cinematography and style of the movie echo Stanley Kubrick for some reason, and there's one scene that will scare your pants off. Larry immediately had to take a bathroom break when we watched it, and I did too. One Hour Photo is a must watch, especially on blu ray. Let me say, I would search it out and purchase it again if I lost it, you know?
