Review of Thinner (1996) by Avis L. Weathersbee for Chicago Sun-Times — 19 Jul 2013
There’s really nothing particularly fresh in this routinely crafted, banally scripted and directed effort. Mantegna’s humorously arrogant performance is the pic’s sole distinctive element, and it’s saved for the finale.
Still, it’s just not good enough to make up for the rest of the drudgery and put a smile on one’s face leaving the theater.
