The acting in this one is a little wonky at times but it still does the job. Not Croneberg's best film, but it's still enjoyable and has an interesting plot.

I enjoyed this film, a good early one from walken and I bet it would of been even better back in the 80s.

Watched this with the family... very definition of a good bad movie. Decent acting, sometimes cheesy dialogue but good overall.

The Dead Zone is a movie that hits several genres and carries itself very well. It's able to do so due to the strength of the main character, Johnny Smith, played so well by Christopher Walken. Walken's performance is casual at times and absolutely stunning at others. To think that Bill Murray was More

As a fan of Stephen King and Christopher Walken, the fact that this movie eluded me is surprising. It's probably because psychic abilities are not the least bit appealing to me. This was sitting in my Amazon queue, about to disappear in a few days, so I watched it and experienced the primary reason More

This was outstanding, and ranks right up there for me, both in terms of Stephen King adaptations in general and Cronenberg's work in particular. It also houses one of my very favourite Christopher Walken performances. When I see Martin Sheen be such a jerk here, it both makes me realize where his so More
