Meeting Evil (2012), starring Samuel L. Jackson and Luke Wilson, directed by Chris Fisher (S. Darko, Cold Case, Person of Interest) has shown great promise! The film is concerned with deep underlying concerns about the endurance and the struggle of Luke Wilson‘s character John Felton against his arch-foil Samuel L. Jackson‘s “Richie”.
Richie and Felton are both interesting characters developing the story in juxtapositioning of one another. The conflict is clear: the reaching the balance between both extremes of good and evil. With almost all his possessions slowly dwindling away with even less hope of a swift recovery, or a recovery in time, Felton begins to dig a massive hole in his backyard. Thinking it’s something he needs to do for his wife, he continues until he is confronted with Richie at the front door. Unsure of what to make of it, Felton’s good-hearted character begins to offer what little help he can provide. Little does he know that Richie has some ulterior motives.
Samuel L. Jackson has a dominating influence on the screen, leaving little possibility of actors from even exercising an equivalent level of formidable charm. Samuel fits very easily inside the mind of Richie, as he begins to investigate and tear down the illusionary world Felton lives in. Richie has very deep layers, his motive isn’t simply killing. With an overwhelmingly nihilistic perspective, Richie attempts to “man up” Felton in order to reveal a hidden plot, to open his mind to greater possibilities than what Felton believes.
