Great idea, but bobbins

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 2000)

I'd heard good things about this movie, but they were totally undeserved. Granted, the basic premise of the film is fantastic, and unusually original in this genre, but the script is absolutely terrible.
For example, without spoiling the 'plot', the complete pattern is worked out after just one incident: now I may be wrong, but I think a pattern is defined as a series of events linked in some way. From that point on the dialogue was awful, the supposed 'make you jump' moments may as well have had an on-screen countdown they were so obvious, and the film became overwhelmed in sheer banality.
The ending did give a little bit of interest, until you realise that it leaves the door open for a sequel, at which point you just wonder...why?
Only rent this film if you are extremely bored or hung over.
The John Denver music was in there due to the 'ironic' fact that he died in a plane crash.
3/10
