The Horrors of the Gridiron are on Bizarre Display in “HIM”
['Sean Collier']
Pittsburgh Magazine
From its first moment, reality is flexible and the lines between actual threats and hallucinations — the product of head trauma — are fuzzy.
The bad news is that “HIM” has far more ideas than answers; it lacks both a cohesive philosophy and a satisfying narrative conclusion.
(It certainly has an explosive and gory conclusion, but those elements are often inserted into films in lieu of a tightly wrapped narrative.)
But Isaiah White is equally parts Jake LaMotta and Pennywise the Clown, a vicious trickster who manipulates the audience as well as he manipulates his protege.
The film is worth seeing for Wayans alone — provided that you’re prepared to witness a lot of blood on the pigskin.
