intuition is a terrible thing to waste

Rating: 3/10 (17 November 2007)

i saw all the great reviews, and maybe walked in expecting a lot, but i certainly was disappointed. seemed mean-spirited to me. quite apocalyptic, with the anti-Christ walking among us - which maybe isn't my favorite theme. guess i was expecting a thriller and got a horror movie.
what bothered me the most was the sheriff. very likable in his wit and his eloquence. then totally inept. lazy, foolish, no ability to use other law enforcement personnel. and worst of all is that he's wonderfully intuitive: he keeps telling stories that should give him clues to the killer (compressed-air cow guns, return to the scene of the crime, the dreams about his father), but then he doesn't use his intuition to solve anything.
i love detectives with intuition, but i count on them to use it wisely. here, intuition is a terrible thing to waste.
