Over the average

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2008)

In some way, John Cusack manages to cast always in over the average films, and the most curious detail is that the movies are from many different types, but he plays always the same type of character.
1408 is not a piece of art, but keeps you interested until the end. It does not scares me as I have been in others films, but maybe this is because the main role tries all the movie to stay himself sane, and you as an spectator, try to be with him in this quest.
The music, photography and the rest of the casting is OK.
The plot has few missed lines (who sent the postcard?, what happened to the hotel manager?), but in general, if you play under the terms of the story, you can enjoy the mystery and mainly with John Cusack's performance.
