No Sense of Direction

Rating: 3/10 (31 March 2002)

I really dont understand why people like this movie so much. Most of the time it was unexciting and bland, and the storyline just seemed to drag on to an implausible ending of confusement. bruce willis was absurd as usual, when is this guy gonna give up trying to act in what could be top-notch thrillers and go back to meaningless action romps? Osmond was okay, you have to give him credit for working with such a 'twilight-zone' script, though I must admit Toni Collete did outshine as the disturbed boys mother.
The simple fact is, for me at least - this movie would have looked better on the small screen as an episode of the X--files or the Twilight-Zone. It just didnt have the strength in characterisation or thrills to make it exciting as a two hour holywood movie. And of course.. like most hollywood entertainment reviewers do..they hyped the movie up and it was applauded by all alike, just beacuse the genre was 'unique' and 'different' from the rest of the crap that hollywood produces.
Though the storyline and genre are certainly unique. And the movie is interesting to watch..it certainly isnt as brilliant as what everyone makes it out to be.
