Certain roles can be flawlessly executed by Robert DeNiro, who is a master of his craft. He’s great at playing hardened criminal masterminds, veteran police officers, and detectives. His role in Hide and Seek, however, just seemed a little less than where it needed to be. I can’t say anything more without giving away the entire film, so just suffice it to say that this was pretty good but not nearly as frightening as it could’ve been. Dakota Fanning was great, and can usually pull off the creepy child thing without too much trouble. Three flames out of five.
