Good idea done in by horrible acting

Rating: 5/10 (29 November 2006)

First the good. The idea of a terminally ill man forcing others to re-evaluate their wasted lives is a solid premise. The sets were sufficiently dingy and creepy. The "traps" set by the killer are inventive and twisted. And I admit I didn't see the ending coming at all.
Now the bad. I am not a fan of fast motion camera work. I understand what the director was going for in using it, but I didn't feel it worked. As for the acting, that's this films Achilles heel. Cary Elwes and Danny Glover are way over the top. Between Cary's blubbering and Danny's bug-eyes, you would swear you were watching a high-school play.
