A unworldy security agent, masterly played by John Torturro, is obsessed to find the murderer of his wife. The murder has been filmed by a security camera, and he tries to find clues in the rather vague images. The closer he gets to finding the offender, the more questions arise about the reasons behind the act.
Fear X reminds of the films of the Coen Brothers (‘Barton Fink’) and David Lych, but is nevertheless convincing because of its desolate atmosphere and the strong acting of the main characters. Also the ending of the film, that can be interpreted in various ways, will give a lot of food for thought…
