I really like William Macy. I also really like Donald Sutherland and Tracey Ullman. So, we watched Panic. The plot synopsis sounded promising. It was slow and predictable.
Macy's character was not particularly well written, though. At least, it seemed to me that he was really two different characters. One written for a mid-life crisis movie and one written for this movie.
This was a very heavy-handed movie that failed entirely to fit its "dark comedy" genre.
A bright spot was John Ritter's portrayal of the psychologist. Very believable. I miss him.
( spoilers )
And we knew that we would going to give it a 2 out of 5. Because the rule is that if we watch it all the way through, it gets at least a 2. But if it weren't for the principle actors, we would not have made it through the movie.
