Clever but not good enough for me

Rating: 6/10 (11 March 2005)

Clever film, but in no way can this ever compare to the suspense and ingenuity of se7en.
Se7en was the only film ever I have been to see where the lights came up in the cinema, the end credits rolled and the whole audience (Me included) sat there in stunned silence.
This film seems a little amateurish for some reason and I don't think it's Danny Glover's best work.
Se7en's John Doe has a more chilling agenda than the terminal cancer patient angry off that everyone who doesn't have cancer is self destructive. Doesn't seem a good excuse .
I also don't like the level of violence towards the doctor's child. That was very disturbing and it put me off the film.
It would still have been suspenseful if it had just been his wife that was taken hostage.
