Not great, not bad but somewhere in between.

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2005)

Lots of fuss on this board about the movie, but in my opinion, good enough to plunk down 4 bucks and rent it for a night. Th highlight of the movie are the special effects, closely followed by the performance of one Rachel Wiesz. A truly captivating performance that had me moved. I can only imagine what it's like to lose a twin sister, but from my personal experiences, I can say that most of the twin talk in the movie is dead on. It helps that I have a couple friends who have either a spouse or siblings who are twins, but what do I know. Anyway the point is Weisz pulls it off effortlessly and should be considered one of the best performances of the year.
Not much to say about the special effects except that they are first rate. With so much being done on a computer these days, it's not hard to tell the difference between whats real and a video game. ("Chronicles of Riddick" comes to mind when I think of overdone computer-generated special effects.)
So in a nutshell, the movie does not suck, is not great, and is somewhere in between. And yes, Keanu Reeves is not a great actor, not even a good actor, but I will still take time to check out his movies. Check out "Something's Gotta Give --a much better movie-- if you want a good, clean, Keanu performance. As John Constantine he was good, in a dirty, life-sucks kind of way.
Lower your expectations a bit and you may enjoy this little nugget of a movie.
