Mark Wahlberg (in his only true villainous role) starred alongside Reese Witherspoon in Fear, a movie that was seemingly inspired by a similar psychological thriller from the 1980s. The 1996 film was directed by James Foley and written by Christopher Crowe, and its story revolves around the strange romance between Wahlberg's David McCall and Witherspoon's Nicole Walker. Nicole is only 16, while David is 23, but their age difference in Fear isn't the only red flag. As the movie goes on, David's true character starts revealing itself, leading to an intense narrative that many compared to a previous critically acclaimed film.
