Desperate Hours (1990)

Reviewed by | Oct 19, 1990
EW's GRADE
D

Details Rated: R; Genres: Drama, Mystery and Thriller; With: Michael Cimino, Anthony Hopkins and Mickey Rourke

The most desperate thing about Desperate Hours is Michael Cimino's attempt to direct it coherently. In Cimino's paws, the story of a merciless crook (Mickey Rourke) terrorizing a suburban family descends into lurid gibberish. D
