Review of Tangled

Tangled (2001)
7/10
An above average romantic thriller with unexpected depth.
18 August 2008
I enjoyed this unusual little thriller on a number of levels. It's always good to see Rachael Leigh Cook, but especially so when she's playing more 'serious' (and sensuous) roles. I liked the multiple flashback way the events leading up to where the film opens were gradually pieced together.

I felt the plot of this film had an underlying theme in that it incorporated an exploration of the dynamics of how these two male characters employ different tactics in competing for Jenny Kelley's (Rachael Leigh Cook's) affections. In short, there's an 'in depth' study (in particular) of David Klein's (Shawn Hatosy's) character.

Finally (similar to what I think has already been observed in an earlier comment) I thought several scenes excellently captured the unpredictable spontaneity in the various ways in which passionate love can sometimes evolve.
