Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Kirpianuscus Not special. not surprising. using Anthony Perkins for a role who seems be the most comfortable for him. remembering Hitchcock. and proposing the slow pace as basic tool for atmosphere. but it has a virtue who did it more than one of many thrillers from the "70. this virtue - Charles Bronson who propose a different hero, exotic for his career, vulnerable, passionate, fragile and innocent, part of dark plot , remembering a sort of Prince Myshkin. Bronson performance is the lead motif to see this film. and maybe, the last scene . short, a thriller who gives not exactly a credible story but one well made , respecting the rules of the genre.proposing a form of duel.

Jonathon Dabell As an actor, Charles Bronson was late developing into a European star and even later finding fame as a star in his native America. Ironically, it was after he became a recognisable face that his performances rapidly became less animated, less colourful, earning him the unfortunate nickname in some circles of Great Stone Face. Anyone coming to Someone Behind The Door (aka Two Minds For Murder) familiar with Bronson's later roles – especially his 70s and 80s American output – will be pleasantly surprised to find him giving a real performance here, a performance of some depth and nuance. As the amnesiac-on-the-run, he is required to be confused and frightened, with periodic mood swings from harmlessly docile to violently enraged. It's quite refreshing to see Bronson going through a greater range of emotions than usual – would you believe it, with the right role and director to coax him through it the man can actually act! No such questions hang over Anthony Perkins who, as usual, is a picture of urbane sinisterness, outwardly pleasant but inwardly a thoroughly evil piece of work. Perkins always makes a splendid villain and this film is no exception.Brain surgeon and brilliant mental analyst Laurence Jefferies (Anthony Perkins) is widely regarded as a genius in his field, but his love life is less than successful. His marriage to Frances (Jill Ireland) is in chaos: he dedicated to his work, she desperate to feel wanted and loved. Frances has been having a secret affair with a journalist, but unknown to her Laurence knows all about the betrayal and is plotting his own warped revenge scheme. All he needs to complete his evil plan is a scapegoat, someone to take the rap for the ruthless crime he has concocted. The arrival of an escaped mental patient (Charles Bronson), suffering from amnesia and possibly responsible for a savage sex attack, provides Laurence with just the opportunity he needs… Someone Behind The Door has about it the feel of a stage production, reminiscent of thrillers like Wait Until Dark, Rear Window and Bronson's own Rider On The Rain with its action restricted mainly to a single set (aside from a handful of exteriors). There's little direct action per se, certainly not the visceral gun battles/fist fights/car chases of later Bronson actioners, but this works in the film's favour since its thrills are built up more through the exchanges of dialogue and the accumulation of small details. The film suffers from a couple of longueurs, and its narrative relies heavily on twists and surprises (meaning there's not much scope for repeat viewings), but for what it is it's a very smooth, watchable and suspenseful piece which deserves a look. Not bad at all.

legendaryunderdog The only other movie I have ever watched with Anthony Perkins as a lead was Psycho and as far as this movie goes, I really think Mr. Perkins had an uncanny knack for playing creeps very well in film. Charles Bronson's role as an amnesiac who is trying to piece together his finite and cloudy past amidst Perkin's manipulative ways is just superbly amazing. This film might possibly possess one of the finest performances Mr. Bronson has ever done. Jill Ireland turns in a good performance as Frances, the wife of Perkin's character who dabbles in adultery behind his back from time to time. This film really has a lot of potential to be a very good suspense chiller but it lacks what you'd call a satisfactory climax. It seems as if the ending was rushed along so the end credits could come quicker. 6 out of 10 stars, good job by Charles Bronson.

BaronBl00d Average thriller of a psychological nature about Anthony Perkins as a brain specialist finding amnesiac Charles Bronson and convincing him that his wife is his wife and is having an affair - all the while having a real affair. This is Perkin's way of dealing with the messy affair. There is quite a bit of plodding here as well as some leaps of logic in the script that are not easily believed. Perkins and Bronson are able to create convincing enough characters to make it work relatively well. Perkins plays the malevolent, to a large degree impotent(of taking command of the situation)doctor with his customary workmanlike manner. Bronson does get to act and though looks a little too lost at times fares well enough too. Lovely Jill Ireland plays the good doctor's sexy wife but does little for her role or the film other than looking quite appealing. The end is really not effective as it leaves no real resolution to any of the plot strands revealed. The director does have some obvious talent and the film moves briskly mercifully.
