Dark Harbor: Review

starstarstarstar
While bickering en route to a ferry, David (Alan Rickman) and Alexis ("Alex") (Polly Walker) drive past the victim of a roadside beating. Giving the young man (Norman Reedus) a lift, the couple regard him cautiously after he begs them not to involve the police. Bidding the stranger adieu, David decides to alleviate marital contentiousness with an ill-timed boat trip. Drifting through fog, David and Alex reach the shore at eventide and encounter a mysterious figure, whom David conks out. Recognizing the drifter they'd picked up earlier, they invite him back to their cabin. Upon recuperating from his injuries, the vagabond seems reluctant to leave. As Alex mopes about her husband's coldness, David picks up on the sexual vibes (allegedly) passing between his wife and the handsome stranger. The fleeting happiness that Alex experiences with the drifter accentuates her depression over her marriage. As the psychosexual dynamics in this triangle change, will David persist in mind-games that lead to tragedy? Atmospheric and well-played by two of the leads, this lethal love-triangle yarn rips off better films like KNIFE IN THE WATER and DEAD CALM. As an examination of a marriage in freefall, the film generates tension, but it's weakened by a histrionic imbalance in the extra-marital equation. Because Reedus, a callow actor, doesn't vent his spleen as authoritatively as his more talented co-stars, this mystery-thriller teases the audience without achieving a vice-like grip on its nerves. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
