Yawn. Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.
The film tried to start fast in drama and mystery (gee, brush teeth, kids scream, dogs barking, corn field... novel), and yet the film still didn't start for 37 minutes. And then it STILL didn't start. Hardly an original thought anywhere. Poor tricks galore. About as much energy and originality as a spent AAA battery.
Yawn.
And people thought this was good?
Aside from an incredibly boring story that lacked spark, energy, originality, I don't know if anyone noticed, but this is about as poor example of writing dialogue as it gets. Performances need to emerge from at the least, dialogue. Oh well. What dialogue? My spouse, who was excited to see the film, kept looking at me also wondering, when is this thing going to start....
Yawn. One of the least compelling flicks I have seen in a long time. I'll go watch corn grow next time.
I have a sign for this film... it is called thumbs down.
