Amazon.com essential video:
The Crying Game offers a rare and precious movie experience. The film is an unclassifiable original that surprises, intrigues, confounds, and delights you with its freshness, humor, and honesty from beginning to end. It starts as a psychological thriller, as IRA foot soldier Fergus (the incomparable Stephen Rea) kidnaps a British soldier (Forest Whitaker) and waits for the news that will determine whether he executes his victim or sets him free. As the night wears on, a peculiar bond begins to form between the two men. Later, the movie shifts tone and morphs into something of a romantic comedy as Fergus unexpectedly becomes involved with the soldier's girlfriend Dil (Jaye Davidson) and discovers more about himself, and human nature in general, than he ever dreamed possible. Like Spielberg's E.T., The Crying Game was supposed to be director Neil Jordan's "little, personal movie," the one he just had to make, even though no studio was willing to give him money because the story was so unusual. Instead, it became a surprise popular sensation, thanks in part to Miramax's cleverly provocative campaign playing up the hush-hush nature of the movie's big secret. The performances (including Miranda Richardson as one of Fergus's IRA colleagues) are subtly shaded, and the writing and direction are tantalizingly rich and suggestive; you're always trying to figure out the characters' true motives and feelings--even when they themselves are fully aware of their own motives and feelings. The Crying Game is a wise, witty, wondrous treasure of a movie. Director Jordan's credits include Mona Lisa, Interview with the Vampire, Michael Collins, and The Butcher Boy. --Jim Emerson

My brother, a preacher, considered this film a work of the devil years ago- so naturally, I had to see it. It has become one of my all-time favorite films. The story, direction, characters, poignancy, and humor are so exceptional that one viewing is never enough. The acting ( by Stephen Rea, Jaye Davidson, Forrest Whitaker, and Miranda Richardson ) is phenomenal.
The color, and sound choices on this film version are much better than I expected. This is not a film for close-minded people. ... Read More

I heard this movie was great and couldn't find it at Blockbuster so I decided it was probably worth purchasing. I watched it with 2 friends and we all thought the movie was good the first 20 minutes (which is about someone being held captive) and then after that it was unwatchable. After 20 minutes it becomes a completely different movie about love between a man and a man dressed as a woman. Two very different plots. Top 5 worst movie ever.

There is nothing more to say, except that sometimes you can't help who you love, especially when you love the inner qualities of a person. A very poignant film.

THE CRYING GAME has been described as many things, and all of them probably true. Even after 15 years after its initial release, it remains writer-director Neil Jordan's insurmountable masterpiece. Not many casual moviegoers seem to know about this one, but serious film buffs hold this dramatic gem along the greatest cinematic landmarks. This film hasn't changed the landscape of moviegoing as we know it, but it's impacted the souls of those who've embarked on its journey.
And what a journey ... Read More

I wish I didn't have alot of the dialogue memorized whenever I decide to rewatch "The Crying Game". That is the only drawnback. I love the performances the best, which are classic cinema to me. It's actually quite difficult to pinpoint the brilliances of each actor since they all trumped eachother with moments of brilliance in their performances. I of course love Jaye Davidson's character, I related to alot of her pain, and emotion. Miranda Richarson was the most intense and passionate and agruably maybe ... Read More
