Yet another "could have been a great movie"

Rating: 4/10 (14 January 2005)

Disappointing in a word.
Though it had promise.
This movie starts with a kind of "hunh?" thought.. and ends with a "unghh.. " feel.
It starts out visually appealing with a range of familiar faces. Slowly it gains momentum before screeching to a halt and leaving one to wonder "why?" Why is the movie still going on? why am I no longer interested in what happens? Why are the best characters so under developed? I hate seeing a great idea never realize it's full potential.
This is a good movie for about an hour, but after that any suspense that had built is needlessly dissolved. This leaves a shell of what was a good movie, with no reason to continue watching.
A light shines in the character of Ivy, the one character you ever get the chance to care about in the movie.. yet due to lack of proper development, again you are left wanting more.
I found myself interjecting random lines and scenarios that could have pulled my waning attention back to the TV, but in the end I felt as though I paid for a sandwich that looked good but gave me a stomach ache half way through.
