THE CLEARING




Crime thriller

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Robert Redford: Wayne Hayes, self-made millionaire in the car rental business
Helen Mirren: his wife Eileen
Alessandro Nivola: their son Tim
Melissa Sagemiller: their daughter Jill
Willem Dafoe: Arnold Mack, one of Wayne’s former employees
Matt Craven: F.B.I. Agent Ray Fuller

REVIEW
This is more of a laid back type thriller than most with hardly anything to get excited about. Actually it’s two stories as the action flits back and forth between what is happening at the home and what’s going on some distance away.

Although Redford is the better know star, best acting goes to his wife Helen and Arnold.

CLASSIFICATION
for a few bursts of strong language…so brief I didn’t even notice it so the rating hardly seems warranted.
