Average

Rating: 5/10 (22 February 2017)

I was really excited about this one and was, for the most part, let down. I cannot say completely let down, because as I sit here writing this about six hours after I saw the movie, I do have some of the images from it in my mind, and while they seem dull, are actually sort of creeping me out and staying with me. But still, unfortunately I have to say this was just average. It was simply too slow, repetitive, and honestly pretty boring for about 70% of the movie. If you have seen The Happening, it's pretty much like that, and honestly The Happening might be better than this. It probably is. But if you remember those sort of awkward stares between Marky Mark and co. imagine 10 times that, and you get the awkward stares of this movie. It's just one awkward stare after another, and the dialogue which starts out interesting and telling of mental illness gets very repetitive and anticlimactic. I enjoyed some of the twisty nature toward the end, but I was having a hard time staying gripped for much of the movie. It was like I was forcing myself to be gripped. Jumped in my seat once, and that was fun. Had a kind of rich proposition placed on me at the end. So....not all bad, but I feel like after two hours I should have been more thrilled.
