The cheese slid off this cracker

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2000)

*Possible spoilers* This director went to all that trouble to crash land his plot like *this?!* Granted, the guy can create suspense and mood, but this improbable ending had me and the audience scratching our heads, wondering if they just ran out of money and had to 'end it somehow'. .. Though Samuel L. Jackson comes across more wooden than I've ever seen him, overall the acting is excellent. The problem seems to be the implausible script: why spend so much energy developing 'Elijah' as a wounded prophet/healer only to hang capital 'V' "Villain" on him at the last second? It just doesn't add up. Hopefully Shanny will thinks his plots through more carefully next time.
