Rating: 1.0
A wasted opportunity
Incoherent and boring supernatural thriller that has the right pieces but does nothing with them to make a compelling or interesting film. Keanu Reeves has the charisma and the charm but his character is a wasted bore and he just comes a cross like an unlikable jerk than anything useful to the story. He just sticks out like a sour thumb and just does not engaged the audience with his badly written character. Rachel Weisz does far more for the audience and the movie with her way too good and superb performance in this film but you do end up feeling sorry for her after awhile because the script and the dialog does not do her valiant performance any justice. Her performance is so good in fact that she is single handedly holds this film together while its in fact falling apart by all around her. Tilda Swinton plays a pretty good angel but her character is way too lightweight to be taken seriously, especially with the revelation towards the end of the film that just blows apart the little creditably this film had going for it. Shia LaBeouf is a decent kid actor but his character ends up more annoying than useful and Djimon Hounsou does ok with a very limited role.My Thumb goes way up for Rachel Weisz's game and way too good for this film performance and a special nod goes to Peter Stormare, who's brief appearance at the end of the film does more for it than the whole bad script itself.Thumbs, way way down to the bad direction and terrible script that made this film a real challenge to watch.
