this is a hard movie to watch.mainly because it is so slow.if you are expecting action,you won't find it here.what you will find is a character study of sorts.the characters propel movie more than anything else.it's a murder mystery/drama that takes place in Alaska in the dead of winter,when it is cold and dark for 24 hours a day.Malcolm McDowell plays the barber,but he is more than a barber.he puts in a good performance here,and the supporting actors are also good.aside from that,there isn't a lot worth watching the movie for.instead of having an ending of any sort,it just ends.i was just hoping that if nothing else,some loose ends would be tied up.i might have rated the movie bit higher in that case.as it is,i give The Barber a 4/10.as an aside,this movie is similar in spirit to Fargo(though i thought Fargo was a better movie),so if you liked that movie,you might want to check out this movie,or vice versa.
