Not as good as it could have been

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2007)

I am sure you have read what the movie is about content wise so I won't go there but I will tell you my overall opinion of it. John Cusak is John Cusak playing a role...if you like John or can stand him, he does a good job as Enslin. His fight with the room leads for a few dry, quirky, and quite humorous moments in the movie. Samuel Jackson doesn't yell in this movie and really has a small part in it. The adaptation from book to movie was translated okay, not as well as Misery or even IT, again this is just how I felt. I just got home from watching it's release in Philly and I walked out of the theater a little unfilled. It's pg-13 so of course it is not going to be extremely scary or suspenseful but there was no truly scary scene in the movie. It's more like a dark-comedy horror flick.
