The Lawnmower Man, plus deleted scenes
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
One of Jeff Fahey's very best. He pulls a Meryl Streep by disappearing into Jobe Smith. The only kind of acting worthwhile, as far as I am concerned.
Pre-evil Jobe was a dear to me. Pure innocence with no secret agenda or malice. Even with malice later, he only harmed the evil ones.
One of the deleted scenes never should have left the movie. I was just about the best part!
The SciFi people will say that the effects are not up to par. They were quite par at the time it was made. In addition to the Sci-Fi, it is also a story of innocence mistreated, then destroyed, and in the wisdom of the world that we accept, innocence learns the negative and embraces power. Maybe not so far fetched after being "born stupid" and living under its weight for years.
Guess I will always love this movie. I just love Jobe.
