Just another pop horror film from Hollywood

Rating: 4/10 (7 July 2002)

So, so predictable. You could practically sleep thru this turkey and wake up near the last ten minutes and have it all figured out. Why people are fascinated by this type of filmaking is beyond me. Yes the special effects are good, this is what Hollywood does best-pour all the money into the effects and leave no money or time for a decent script.
The lines were read with no passion whatsoever, espiecially by Ms. Ricci, ugh! Great acting by Johnny Depp you say? Give me a break, maybe just a notch above the Ricci performance, a very small notch. The best performance here is by Christopher Walken, and his role is none speaking! Place this film in the same heap of forgettable Hollywood action features that are all noise and effects, with nothing to remember but the two hours you wasted watching it.
