A Pretty Good Mind F@#$

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2003)

I went and saw this movie for two reasons - one the advertising campaign for this movie really did a good job of selling it as a rich atmospheric thriller and two, the great cast - especially John Cusack who is one of those guys that I could always find myself relating to in his movies - my generations every guy. I found it to be a real good psychological thriller - and though the director pulled the rug out from under you a few times when you looked back at everything - it all makes sense. You can complain about some things being predictable or convenient, but to see a movie that was scarier for what you heard but did not see instead of just filling the screen with gore was definitely welcome. Worth seeing and though it may not be "SUPER" scary, it is much scarier than "13 Ghosts", "Ghost Ship" and the majority of your recent scary movies and with a lot more class and style to boot...
