Pros: Dakota Fanning
Cons: Script and weak ending
When I saw the previews for this movie, it looked like a sure winner. Looks can be deceiving. Not even the incredible acting talents of Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning could save this film. Why did I not like the movie? Here's a few reasons: 1. ...

Pros: Wonderful surprise ending.
Cons: Takes way to long to get to the ending.
I recently purchased Hide and Seek (2005) at my local video store for pennies on the dollar. The film starts off with the following words, "First day of the New Year", "New York City", in white set in a black background. The movie finally ...

Pros: A little suspenseful in spots
Cons: Slow-moving, not terribly engaging
Watch out, Dakota Fanning is a force to be reckoned with. At the tender age of 10, she has already made her face known via a series of successful films including I Am Sam, Man On Fire, The Cat In The Hat and now this one, Hide And ...

Pros: Dakota Fanning has some intimidating facial expressions, nice parts that will make you jump
Cons: not scary enough, not one of Deniro's best
Fifteen minutes into Hide and Seek, maybe even twenty, I loudly expressed my opinion to my girlfriend sitting next to me how the movie was going to end. I made the same assumption in White Noise, though I was only half right with it during that ...

Pros: Powerful cast,few really good scares and some of the sound effects.
Cons: Concept, really slow moving, everything seems forced and the R rating is silly.

Pros: Dakota Fanning, reminiscent of quality material.
Cons: Reminiscent not equaling actual quality material.
In his essay "Confessions Of A Cineplex Heckler", Joe Queenan writes about how the title profession earns you few friends in cinemagoer land. While I myself tend to get a certain level of perverse enjoyment out of taking down certain productions that ...

by movie_critic , Jan 29 '05
Pros: As always Dakota Fanning outshines her own movie
Cons: Predictable script, implausible conclusion, weak story telling, lacks suspense
January has not been a good month for movie moms this year. She found out the hard way in White Noise and even harder in the equally unsatisfying thriller, "Hide and Seek." It's 2:06 A.M. and Dr. David Callaway (Robert DeNiro) wakes up to the sound ...

Pros: De Niro and Fanning, mixed with a pretty clever plot!
Cons: Pace almost lost my attention, but finally won out.
The Amazing World of Reviews Well---I am always amazed weekly at how the National Promoters will push a perplexing couple of films like Sideways and Closer...and kinda dump on movies like Flight of the Phoenix and Hide and Seek. This movie ...

Pros: Despite the confusing plot, this movie is very interesting and suspenseful
Cons: It's odd to find out who did it b/c of where they weren't in scene
With the passing away of a family member, especially when it is a suicide, often times people take it hard and handle it in ways that they normally wouldn’t act upon situations. Depression often seems to play a major role as well as self-blame. But ...

Pros: Someone finally used Dakota Fanning's creepiness on purpose.
Cons: Thoroughly predictable, and more laughable than scary.
While this January certainly hasn't been lacking the cinematic suck, it hasn't had that classically distastrous, so-amazingly-awful-as-to-be-co
mic-gold
type of suck--that is, until the final weekend of the month, with the release of Hide and Seek. ...

Pros: Good cast and Premise.
Cons: Lousy ending, horrible pacing.
The mind is a deep a complex organ that science still struggles to fully comprehend, despite the countless hours of research and study that have been expended in unlocking the mysteries contained within. In the new thriller “Hide and Seek”, ...

Pros: Different twist than most psychological thrillers. Good acting.
Cons: Ending very dark.
I'm surprised to see so many low ratings for this movie here. I didn't think it was that bad. Of course maybe that is because I knew nothing of what the movie was supposed to be about. This movie starts out with Deniro's wife committing suicide at ...

Pros: Scary, Disturbing, Well Acted
Cons: A little slow and forced
I was able to see this film last week on a sneak preview, and even though I enjoyed it, I could sense from the rest, they didn’t like it as much. I found that the movie had strong acting, eccentric characters and a creepy kid adding to the atmospheric ...
