A sliver of a movie

SLIVER, starring Sharon Stone, Tom Berenger and William Baldwin, is not much of a movie. I call it a grey movie: it's neither exciting nor thrilling enough for a thriller. It's neither deep nor dramatic enough for a drama. It's neither this nor that. It's just grey. It's easy to figure out who the killer is that they had to come up with an ending that had nothing to do with the revelation of the killer. Originally, Baldwin was the killer, not Berenger. But they reshot scenes before the movie was released. So, when you thinks about this for a minute (they were willing to make Baldwin the killer and yet in the final cut, Baldwin is not the killer. Just a peeping tom), the fact that they change who the killer was at the last minute tells you how flat and grey the rest of the movie was. The killer's identity was interchangeable. The killer could have even been a fire-hydrant and it wouldn't have changed anything in the rest of the movie. The music is good though!
