Details: Product DescriptionSuccessful publisher Will Atenton (Daniel Craig) quit a job in New York City to relocate his wife, Libby (Rachel Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived. When Will investigates the tragedy, his only lead comes from Ann Paterson (Naomi Watts), a neighbor who was close to the family that died. As Will and Ann piece together the disturbing puzzle, they discover that the story of the last man to leave Will’s dream house will be just as horrifying to the one who came next.—–diteur succs Will Atenton quitte son emploi New York pour dmnager avec sa femme et ses enfants dans une ville pittoresque de Nouvelle Angleterre. En s’installant, ils dcouvrent que leur maison de rve a t le thtre du meurtre d’une mre et ses deux enfants. Toute la ville pense que l’auteur n’est autre que le pre qui a survcu aux siens.Amazon.caIt would seem a foregone conclusion that a stellar cast of actors, led by real-life marrieds Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, and an Academy Award-nominated director like Jim Sheridan (In America), should be able to breathe life into a by-the-books psychological thriller likeDream House, even with its airy supernatural overtones. But their combined talents, along with that of Naomi Watts and the always welcome Elias Koteas, cannot save the film’s moribund plot, which asks viewers to believe that the storyboard life of family man Craig is actually a delusion in the mind of a psychotic (also Craig) who has butchered his wife (Weisz) and children. Such a notion wouldn’t pass muster as a basic cable feature, though all concerned do their best to seem invested in the proceedings. Craig and Weisz share the screen well, and while Watts is wasted as a nosy neighbor, the supporting cast, which includes Jane Alexander, Marton Csokas, and Gregory Smith, do their share of heavy lifting. But the film’s extensive behind-the-scenes troubles–to wit, battles between Sheridan and production company Morgan Creek, which precipitated Sheridan’s attempt to remove his name from the picture, while Craig and Weisz refused to promote it–as well as its notoriously spoiler-heavy trailer leaveDream House feeling a bit on the spoiled side, with only devotees of the leads or truly starved horror fans among its possible viewers.–Paul Gaita
