convoluted and dragged out

Rating: 5/10 (20 April 2008)

I have to confess I didn't figure the plot out in the first 10 minutes.But that's because I was so BORED I didn't waste neurons trying to figure it out.
This film has no alternative to being boring because the screenplay has to carefully keep Bruce Willis from engaging in conversation with any other adult for nearly two screen hours! This give it an oddly staid funeral parlor cache between the gripping beginning and end sequences.
That said, it is artistically done, well-edited, and well-acted, despite being so drawn out.
I agree with other reviewers that it would have been perfect for a 30-minute Twilight Zone episode, or longer treatment at the hand of Alfred Hitchcock.
