The Gingerbread Man (1998)
CAST: Kenneth Branagh, Embeth Davidtz, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall
DIRECTOR: Robert Altman
MPAA RATING: R
RUNNING TIME: 115 Minutes
STUDIO: PolyGram

The lack of suspense and a semi-average plot lowered the rest of the quality of this film. Embeth Davidtz plays a woman whose afraid her insane father (Robert Duvall) is after her. Though Duvall�s role is small, he still does a very nice job. Kenneth Branagh is the attorney who is on Davidtz case and the one who is out to protect her. I think anyone could have played his role. He didn�t show any special skills as an actor, just the usual. Robert Downey Jr. plays a detective who is also helping with the case.

Finding good things in this picture may be a little difficult. It looked as though the director ran through the motions. Although there are a few surprises and maybe one eye-opening scene, this is nothing more than average.
