Rating: 1.0
As fascinating as watching paint dry up
Very bad horror thriller that has the right pieces but does nothingwith them to make a compelling or interesting film. Keanu Reeves hasthe charisma and the charm but his character is a wasted bore and hejust comes a cross like an unlikable jerk than anything useful to thestory. He just sticks out like a sour thumb and just does not engagedthe audience with his badly written character. Rachel Weisz does farmore for the audience and the movie with her way too good and complexperformance in this film but you do end up feeling sorry for her afterawhile because the script and the dialog does not do her valiantperformance any justice. Her performance is so good in fact that she issingle handedly holds this film together while its in fact fallingapart by all around her. Tilda Swinton plays a pretty good angel buther character is way too lightweight to be taken seriously, especiallywith the revelation towards the end of the film that just blows apartthe little creditably this film had going for it. Shia LaBeouf is adecent kid actor but his character ends up more annoying than usefuland Djimon Hounsou does OK with a very limited role.My Thumb goes way up for Rachel Weisz's game and way too good for thisfilm performance and a special nod goes to Peter Stormare, who's briefappearance at the end of the film does more for it than the whole badscript itself.
