...into the wack-job's confidence. In the movie the kid is eager and innocent, and eventually becomes so obsessed with his prey that he is endangering his marriage to pretty, sensible Juliana (Caroline Dhavernas). For Hanssen is something more than the mere neat freak he first appears to be. He is also both a devout, mass-every-day Catholic and an equally devout purveyor-consumer of pornography, some of which features his sweetly simple wife (with or without her consent is unclear in the film). The man gives new meaning to F. Scott Fitzgerald's notion that the test...

Owen’s performance in “Closer” proved his ability to play aloof and distant characters, and his portrayal of Theo reinforces his command of that personality. Moore, during her short appearance, infuses her character with an immense vitality and power. But the force of the movie ultimately lies in how scarily realistic it is. London, where Theo lives, is not depicted as futuristic; in fact, it does not appear much different than it does today, with double-decker buses and coffee shops...
