LA ZONA MORTA
The Dead Zone
Il professore di lettere Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken) cade in un lungo periodo di coma in seguito ad un incidente stradale. Al suo risveglio non solo comprende che la sua vita sentimentale è irrimediabilmente distrutta (la sua fidanzata Sarah, l'ultima persona che vide prima dello scontro, si è nel frattempo sposata), ma scopre di possedere un oscuro e inquietante potere, che gli consente di predire il futuro di tutte le persone con cui entra in contatto fisico. Una semplice stretta di mano, ad esempio, genera improvvise visioni nella mente dell'uomo, che sa anticipare con assoluta certezza eventi drammatici e anche tragici che stanno per colpire la persona che ha toccato. Questa sua facoltà lo conduce ad affrontare alcuni episodi spaventosi.

This was outstanding, and ranks right up there for me, both in terms of Stephen King adaptations in general and Cronenberg's work in particular. It also houses one of my very favourite Christopher Walken performances. When I see Martin Sheen be such a jerk here, it both makes me realize where his son Charlie gets that side of his personality from and makes me fear, even though I'm Canadian, the fact that Donald Trump actually has a chance of being the next president of the United States. It also reaffirms in my heart the great adoration I have for Brooke Adams.

Pretty good paranormal thriller with a nice, and strangely normal, performance from Christopher Walken. Kept my attention throughout even if the finale felt a bit rushed and, the final scene, pretty laughable. Still found it entertaining though not sure how much desire I have to re-watch, although I may give the TV series a shot down the line. 3.25/5

The Dead Zone is a movie that hits several genres and carries itself very well. It's able to do so due to the strength of the main character, Johnny Smith, played so well by Christopher Walken. Walken's performance is casual at times and absolutely stunning at others. To think that Bill Murray was thought by Stephen King to be a better option is crazy. Walken's performance brings out the best in the rest of the ensemble as the movie goes through 3 acts, with several stories intermingled quite nicely with each other. While it is not a true horror movie, in my opinion, the work of David Cronenberg comes out nicely in some scene's that remind you he is in charge of our minds during the 100 minute or so feature.
I highly recommend this to anyone that loves Stephen King adaptions or psychological thrillers. It is a movie, that in my opinion, has aged very nicely and holds it's own in any era. Great film! I give this movie a solid 8 out of 10.
