THE BEAST IN ME – Compelling psychological thriller starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys. Rhys is outstanding as a menacing, deviant, predatory animal and his performance is appropriately unnerving. His character occasionally displays a sensitive, caring quality which adds dimension and realism, and makes him much more dangerous. Claire Danes always turns out good work, but she has mannerisms that have consistently annoyed me since Homeland. It gets in the way when I watch her. Still I enjoyed this piece. And, it is only an eight episode mini-series which has us wondering until the very end…..did he or didn’t he do it, and if so, will he get away with it and/or do it again? Cheers!
