This is no Seven

Rating: 2/10 (24 February 2005)

This is one of the worst hyped film ever. To compare this to Seven is like comparing Deep Blue Sea to Jaws. The premise for the film was cool but the execution of it was terrible. I found my self staring at my watch 15 minutes into the film. There was some disturbing scenes, but overall, there was no tension built. I didn't understand, or care, why any of the characters was acting the way they did; or what was going to happen to them. The plot have some major holes in it and the characters are so, so stupid in their actions. Why couldn't the cops track the killer down after the incident involve Danny glover and his partner, aren't everything about the killer right at hand in that lair? Or why in god's name did the killer decide to lay uncomfortably in the bathroom with his two victims instead of watching it else where a tad more relaxing? Is it just so the film can have a "I didn't see that coming" ending? In a hand of a more experienced director, it could have been a good film.
