ANOTHER BAD THRILLER FOR 2000/THIS AINT ''PSYCHO''/ MORE LIKE "The Talented Mr. Ripley(no stars}''

Rating: 4/10 (15 April 2000)

Don't expect this movie to be anything like "Psycho". It's another bad thriller like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (no stars). So far there have been no good thrillers made for 2000 and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (no stars) and this movie is a real bad start for 2000 thrillers. A lot of people seemed to love the book for this movie but I thought the book was horrible. Despite some of the really cool gruesome scenes the book had it was boring and had a real terrible ending. I was expecting the movie to be an improvement over the book, but sadly it wasn't. It was just as bad as the book. It had cool gruesome scenes just like the book and was just as boring as the book. What's even worse is the ending of the movie was worst than the one in the book. I'm not going to spoil the ending for you all I'm going to say is that the movie's ending was an extension of the books ending and was even worse. I feel sorry for Christian Bale for being in this movie. I thought his acting was excellent, good enough to get this years best actor academy award, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen because of him being in this movie. *1/2[1 1/2 stars]
