Review – Mr. Frost

Because I’m not fond of the kinds of characters Jeff Goldblum usually plays, this picture started out on a short leash. Fortunately it had enough of a premise to get me hooked. Goldblum plays a serial killer newly admitted to an asylum. He’ll only speak to one doctor, and he tells her that he’s the devil. Though as Father Karras once observed, that’s like saying you’re Napoleon Bonaparte, this guy proves his point by getting other people to do some evil stuff. Unfortunately from there it goes downhill. Goldblum’s charmless charm is expected to carry the day, which as usual it doesn’t. And in the end the point the picture was trying to make goes unproven. Though I liked it better than I thought I would, I still thought it was a mediocre outing. Mildly amusing
