Surprisingly Good

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2004)

Since we'd all heard negative reviews about the movie, no one would watch it with me tonight. I have to say they missed out.
I was leery of Ashton K. playing anything but a dumb*ss, but he did a pretty good job (I suspect this is because a shallow, but charismatic character was needed in order to focus more on the events in the movie.)
The directing is pretty good- you get to know characters in a very short period of time and can follow them through a very quick moving story.
It is NOT a real thriller; it is NOT a horror movie...another example, i think, of false marketing. It IS very similar to Run Lola Run, and sort of like Donnie Darko. If you liked those, you'll probably enjoy this one.
7/10 entertaining, somewhat original
