like... w/ bad editing

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2002)

Don't get me wrong: I like this movie, but while watching it I was overwhelmed by the terrible editing evrytime there is a conversation between any of the "normal" (i.e. "human") characters. I couldn't help but wonder what bits of conversation were cut everytime there was a camera change between Jennifer Connelly and William Hurt, or J. C. and Kiefer Sutherland during their scenes together. The effects are incredible and the idea for the movie itself is incredible. I don't like the ending, though: it's too much of a let down after such an intense assault upon my sense of what's rational. Finally, I can't agree with anyone's opinion of Kiefer Sutherland's performance. I found it completely distracting and ruinous to the rest of the story... Some have described it as "Peter Lore-esque." If this was intentional on K. S.'s part, he should have chose another role model. Personally, I think he should have played it as Kiefer Sutherland himself.
