Believe it or not, I think this was one of Robin Williams' best roles. An engrossing psychodrama on human isolation that only gets more and more unsettling as it goes on.

"And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture." It's crazy to imagine how one of the funniest men that had ever lived could have the coldest face. Robin Williams knows how to play creepy well. Director Mark Romanek delivers a chilling thriller that's wonderfully shot with such precision that Sy himself would be pleased.

Very few movies have made me hurt in the way that One Hour Photo did. Robin Williams' performance was brilliant; he completely captured the characteristics of the sick, the obsessive and the lonely.

A film about obsession that is equal parts sad and chilling. Robin Williams plays a man who is so multi-layered that we pity him and fear him simultaneously. The film achieves great levels of tension by the subtlest lines and looks, not an easy task.

An absolutely phenomenal film. One of the very few great thriller films made in recent history. Before I saw this film I genuinely thought that Robin Williams was a horrible one character actor; but, was proven incredibly wrong by this film. It is a beautifully shot, expertly colored and incredibly well acted film. The thing that makes this film especially creepy is the fact that you could place Sy the Photo Guy in your life. Just an ordinary, soft spoken, hard working and obsessive compulsive manager of a department within a big box retailer that is a just a little too obsessed with one of his customers. The ending of this film is the real kicker.

If you are looking into a career as a stalker this movie will give you a good place to start. Robin Williams plays a lonly middle-aged man working as a tech in a photo shop where he inputs himself into the lives of the people in the pictures he works with. In the end you feel bad for Williams' character.

Creepy - for those who considere Robin Williams as just a comedian, watch One Hour Photo an you'll see him in a whole different light. Sy "the photo guy" is one of the creepiest characters ever put to film - and that's saying something.
