Beware anyone who does not like slow paced films, 'cause if you don't, this film will make you fall asleep. Having said that, I must say that I certainly don't mind slow paced films as long as it suits the tone of the film. That is the case in "Felicia's Journey". FJ is not Atom Egoyan's best film (personally, I think "The Sweet Hereafter" is a masterpiece), but it's much better than e.g. "Exotica". Bob Hoskins is absolutely brilliant in this film as is Elaine Cassidy. However, calling this film a thriller is a stretch. "Felicia's Journey" is very much a drama, a serial killer drama, not a serial killer thriller. That's what is so great with this film, since it lets us meet the murderer on a whole other level than in most thrillers. Great film, brilliant acting.
