Could Have Been Much Better
Amazon's critic described this film as "derivative." That's an understatement! It's pretty much a ripoff of THE SIXTH SENSE and FEARLESS. I won't bother to summarize the plot since so many others have done so, but suffice it to say that any one with half a brain can pretty quickly figure out where this story is going. I did so before inserting the disc into my DVD player!The saddest thing about this movie is that it had enormous potential. In the hands of a different writer it could have taken its premise to much more original territory than the totally predictable course it follows (with often ridiculous dialogue and poorly drawn characters). And both the director and producer should have been tarred and feathered for not spotting the terrible script long before one minute of footage was shot!The one good thing I can say about this mess it that the ending is fairly interesting. The only problem is that you have to sit through the first 3/4ths of the film in order to get there.
