Fear X (2003)

Synopsis: A security guard is obsessed about his wife's death by gunshot while she was in the parking lot of the same mall at which he works. In his spare hours, he goes over the security tapes of the mall in the hope of finding a clue that will help him solve the exact nature of her death.
Appraisal: This film is marred by a seriously anti-climactic last act. The writer probably didn't have enough imagination to come up with a thrilling culmination for the story he concocted. If it were a bigger production, they would probably have hired a team of writers to perfect this screenplay in a manner that would prevent the frustration of the viewers. That being said, the film has merits; it is brooding and well directed, and has a solid lead performance.
Rating: 46
