What a awful piece of crap..

Rating: 3/10 (6 November 2009)

so that's it hmm? the film so many have been talking about? well i just watched it and i thought it was pathetic. in retrospect that's no big surprise though, as the American film industry has a lot of pathetic thrillers to display over the past, say, fifteen years.
there is no point mentioning each and every part that fails to make sense. what it all sums up to is bad script writing; the writer wants something to happen. so, he makes up an excuse that will allow the story to proceed, and never looks back to see if it corresponds with all the other crap excuses he has made up along the way. in the end he throws in a pinch of gore (just as much as the box office will allow), and a plot twist that can only be called unexpected if you've watched less than 10 films in the genre.
it's the same recipe that has produced a great number of stupid films, made to scare teenagers while they're chewing their pop corn in a comfy cinema seat (like the latest Mirrors, or The Unborn). Americans can't make a good thriller anymore, not if their life depended on it. they've even managed to F**k up some Asian masterpieces in the process of trying. what more proof do you people need to stop bothering?
