A Huge Let Down

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2004)

I remember seeing this preview for the first time when I was still in school, it must have been in early June or late May. I was immediately excited to see this movie. I got all hyped up about it and went and saw it the day it came out. I was so disappointed.
First of all, how many times was the boom mic visible in this movie? If my friend hadn't of convinced me I would have left just because of that.
Secondly, while the acting was not terrible, neither was it great. Certainly no Oscar worthy performances. The acting was, at best, mediocre.
Third, the big surprise "twist" was very easy to figure out. Two fourteen year old girls (myself being one of them) were able to figure out the entire movie within half an hour. Not to mention the twist wasn't that great. I expected so much more.
Fourth, the ending... your thinking there is so much more and all of sudden the credits start rolling and your going, "Wow, was that it!?" It ended in a weird way. Just sort of mid-action... not that the movie was very action-packed.
One last thing that made this movie so average was the many, many, plot holes... I just think the idea could have gone so much farther. It was seriously an incredible let down.
