Could have been a great comeback vehicle for underrated Ashely


Or better said "under-used"

Pleased that you have commented about this, in spite of her Razzie nom, she is the main reason to see 'Windows'. It is the lackluster direction and awful script that she had to contend with, that let her character down. The film comes over as a pretentious mood piece and I think that Willis forgot he was making a thriller, to go along with the psychological aspects.

Perhaps he was trying to make too many statements or genres at once (which can be done successfully), but not achieving any one of them.

It reminds me of something like Woody Allen would have done, if he had wanted to do a NY set, psychological thriller. He would have written a better script though and hopefully had added some suspense to the proceedings, with more profound dialogue, than......."Say Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
