Leelee Sobieski stars as Ruby Baker in the Columbia Pictures psychological thriller, THE GLASS HOUSE
After the parents of Ruby (Leelee Sobieski) and her younger brother, Rhett (Trevor Morgan), are killed in a car crash, their parents' best friends, Erin and Terry Glass (Diane Lane, Stellan Skarsgard), become their guardians. The children hear promises of a world of opulence and California fun -- all they have to do is move into the Glasses' gated house. Before very long, though, Ruby suspects that Erin and Terry may not be the ideal guardians they seemed to be.

September 14, 2001 | There’s something weirdly fascinating about a thriller as potently trashy as The Glass House, something almost indecently attention-grabbing about the lurid overstatement of its B-movie melodramatics. This twisted modern-day fairy tale has all the subtlety of a jackhammer, and spins totally out of control in the final reel. And yet, almost in spite of itself, the movie occasionally manages to do an end run around your better judgment, if only to shock you with a shamelessly button-pushing cheap trick.

The Movie: "The Glass House" isn't awful, but another "a" word: average. The film is a moderately effective thriller, which, given the cast involved, should have been considerably better. The film's lead actress is Leelee Sobieski, who, despite many accurate comments that she looks and almost sounds exactly like Helen Hunt, has developed into an actress of remarkable beauty and fierce intelligence. Her supporting cast is made up of equally fine actors: Stellan Skarsgaard ("Good Will Hunting", "Insomnia") and Diane Lane. The film stars Sobieski and Trevor Morgan as Ruby and Rhett Baker, who find themselves orphaned after a tragic opening. They find themselves moving in with their former next-door neighbors, the Glasses (Skarsgaard and Lane), who live in a house that's made up of mostly - you guessed it - glass. And - well, you guessed that, too, probably - these aren't the nice people they seem to be at first glance. The film is a predictable plot (thanks to "Cape Fear" screenwriter Wesley Strick) that is suprisingly wrapped up in quite attractive packaging. The glass house is particularly beautiful and the film is shot superbly by cinematographer Alar Kivilo in widescreen, using shadows and light quite well. Christopher Young's score is creepier than many things in the movie itself. The performances aren't bad, either. Sobieski is terrific, with a lot of subtle and effective moments. Skaarsgard is quite creepy as well, but Lane really doesn't get much of a chance to do a...

THE GLASS HOUSE The domestic thriller The Glass House is obvious and over-the-top from the word go, and that's what I liked about it. It takes true chutzpah to pull off a movie with visuals this baroque and plotting this convoluted; it might be the most trashily enjoyable work of its kind since 1997's The Devil's Advocate. Like that Al Pacino craptacular, The Glass House has no higher agenda than showing audiences, in horror-flick form, the luridness behind ultra-rich "perfection," and it's so up-front about its limited ambitions, and so earnestly performed by its top-tier cast, that you can easily lean back and enjoy it for the stylish dreck it is. Is it a good movie? Nah. An entertaining one? Hell, yes.
