[Q]: plot outline - wendy ( samantha press ) , a jazz singer , loves mack ( hugo race ) a criminal and wanna be rock singer who 's planning a bank heist .
mack is also being tailed by a couple of cops , one an inexperienced rookie ( dominic sweeney ) , the other ( john flaus ) a worn out veteran who frequents wendy 's jazz club .
they 're tailing mack , because he has an audiotape that may show evidence of governmental corruption .
meanwhile wendy 's sexually awakener , fifteen year old sister ( rebecca elmaloglou ) has moved in with her , and is secretly watching mack and wendy 's late night love trysts ?
much zaniness ensues the review :
main problem first - about 2 % of rood rock star to actor conversions in filmdom ever really work .
unfortunately , trying to cast hugo race as a violent , sexy criminal falls into the " what the hell where they thinking " category
that takes up 98 % of the rest .
but , hell , it 's not as if he 's the only problem in this well - intentioned but ultimately below average aussie thriller .
leads , race and samantha press are wooden and dull , hampered by some unfortunate attempts at sexy dialogue early on .
though they do manage some heat later in their love scenes , helped , no doubt by them keeping their mouths shut .
the film suffers every time the story shifts back to these two . which is unfortunately , the other main story is n't any great shakes either .
the second part , concerning two cops , political corruption and that elusive tape is incredibly muddled .
at many points during the movie i had no idea what was going on , a situation that did n't improve on repeated viewing .
there is no doubt that this film 's achilles heel is its script .
as for the rest of the cast , it 's a mixed bag .
john flaus , one of australia 's most criminally underused actors , is in top form as the withering , alcoholic jazz fan cop , who may or may not have sold out to the highest bidder .
although he falters at one point , when the script calls for him to get up on stage and deliver a drunken beat sermon , but believe me , they way it was written , no one could have pulled it off .
dominic sweeney is fine , though he seems to be uneasy in front of the lens but he really is n't given a whole lot to do .
pre home and away elmaloglou is pretty good as the inquisitive jojo , but her character seems extraneous to the story , well , at least until the final scenes .
i must admit , in too deep does have some impressive qualities , not the least of which is it visual element .
cinematographers mark gilfedder & peter zakharov have achieved the almost impossible by making melbourne look like a sweat drenched tropic city , which is akin to turning london into san paolo .
the bar is an oppressive red , like all of it 's patrons are being baked while they drink , outside it hazy orange by day and cool blue by night .
if only deborah parson 's script could have supported this idea better .
having two director 's ( colin south & john tatoulis ) does n't help either , the most glaring example of which is the final retribution / fight scene , where for some reason the camera pulls away from the onscreen action , and more importantly it does n't pull away to anything else .
it just stays static as the fight happens in the distance .
it has no reason to it ; it 's just bad direction .
and , ultimately , that is what sums up in too deep
, it 's tries to be good , and you want it to work , but , it 's just lacking the talent behind it , that it needs to succeed .

[Q]: it 's a curious thing - i 've found that when willis is not called on to carry the whole movie , he 's much better and so is the movie .
even though , in the sixth sense he is the " name " , he does n't have the pivotal role .
that honour goes to haley osment who plays cole sear ( cute pun , seer ) a 9 year old boy who can see ghosts .
if osment was cute or precious , the director going for the maudlin , this would be nothing more than a movie - of - the - week , thankfully , osment is not only better than that , but in some instances , blows everyone else off the screen in a bravura performance .
we get to see his fears , vulnerabilities , strengths and intelligence which makes the sixth sense one of the best movies i 've seen this year .
the whole cast matches him in quality , with willis giving a fairly low key performance that matches the subject matter .
one thing about this movie , its target .
this is n't a sfxfest like the haunting or a gorefest , this is more what i 'd call a supernatural drama , more interested in characters than in dazzling you with makeup .
one caveat :
there 's a lovely twist in the movie , something like the usual suspects , where you end up replaying the movie in your head rethinking what you have just seen .
i was extremely lucky to see it as a sneak preview in toronto , before any hype or critical reviews were out , so i went in with no biases .
if anyone want to talk to about the movie before you see it , do n't let them .
let the director explain on his own pace and you 'll enjoy the movie vastly more .

[Q]: " book " should have remained in shadows book of shadows :
blair witch 2
a film review by michael redman copyright 2000 by michael redman certain things in our lives are inevitable .
death , sorrow , love , heartbreak , pain , joy .
we expect these events .
we know they 're going to happen and some , we even look forward to .
it 's part of the human condition .
we have also become accustomed to inevitable occurrences in our society .
as we near the fall election , several of them are hitting us in the face .
politicians exaggerate their own importance .
our side is always right ; theirs is always wrong .
in the end , voters are usually forced to choose the lesser of two whocares .
in hollywood
the one indisputable inevitable is that if a film makes big money , there will be a sequel .
even if the original story does n't merit one .
even if the first film is complete in itself .
even if success is a fluke .
" the blair witch project " was made with a budget of $ 1 . 75 and exploded on the screen , raking in huge profits .
the concept was brilliant .
the filmmakers created a remarkable buzz that the story might be real .
the film itself was even more convincing .
the movie _ must _ be authentic .
why else would such amateurish footage be on the big screen ?
the first film caught lightning in a bottle .
the sequel proves you ca n't pour that old lightning into a new bottle .
you have to give this effort some credit .
it would have been easy to have made the same movie again with a new group of kids .
it would have been easy , but of course , it would n't have worked .
instead " book of shadows " acknowledges the first film as a movie and concentrates on the hysteria following its release .
it 's a great scheme and possibly the only entertaining way to do a sequel .
unfortunately it does n't work either .
five kids spend the night in the woods at the scene of the first film .
weird stuff happens and they retreat to an old factory where one of them lives .
even weirder stuff happens .
some people die , there 's blood and knives
and none of the characters have a lick of common sense .
while supposedly doing serious research , the group sets up a circle of surveillance cameras in the ruins of the old house in the woods and vows to stay alert all night awaiting a visitation .
then they proceed to get totally trashed on drugs and alcohol and party down with very loud
, very obnoxious heavy metal music .
it 's a bad plan .
the cast shows some early promise .
a couple is doing research on a " blair witch " book .
the tour guide is a former mental patient turned ebay aficionado .
a goth amazon princess adds a bit of comedic relief .
the obligatory hot babe is the 2000 spiritual cinematic descendent of the cute hippie chick , the cute rock and roll chick and the cute disco chick : the cute wiccan chick .
the first film 's unaccomplished actors came across as real people in a real situation because hours and hours of video were shot during days in the woods .
this time , these unaccomplished actors just come across as unaccomplished actors .
there 's not one character you care about when they start shouting for no reason .
although what passes for a plot starts out with a solid idea , it 's ruined by poor execution .
the follow - up to one of the most successful horror films ever is nothing more than a bad slasher movie .
they 're trapped in an old big weird house .
they stupidly separate into various rooms .
there are strange noises , they see scary apparitions and people disappear .
ever see this movie ?
seasoned documentary director joe berlinger should know better .
the film features mostly cheap tricks and unnecessary gore .
for a storyline filled with surprises , it 's oddly predicable .
" the blair witch project " was a rare triumph of style over substance .
"
the book of shadows " is a triumph of tedium over promise .
