plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !
where 's joblo coming from ?
a nightmare of elm street 3 ( 7/10 ) - blair witch 2 ( 7/10 ) - the crow ( 9/10 ) - the crow : salvation ( 4/10 )
- lost highway ( 10/10 ) - memento ( 10/10 ) - the others ( 9/10 ) - stir of echoes ( 8/10 )
Solution: N
Why? The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

New input: the 1990s produced two brilliant science fiction films .
one was _ gattaca _ .
the other was _ the thirteenth floor
_ .
just as _ gattaca _ was overshadowed by the mighty _ titanic _ ,
_ the thirteenth floor
_ was relegated to obscurity by _ the matrix
_ .
however , _ the thirteeth floor _ , though it deals with similar themes , is a much better movie than the frenetic , childish and improbable _ matrix
_ .
a cutting edge computer scientist , hannon fuller ( played by the charming armin mueller - stahl ) , is murdered .
his associate , douglas hall , ( craig bierko ) apparently framed and suspected by the police , enters into the simulated world they have created in order to unravel the mystery .
along the way a beautiful blonde ( gretchen mol ) , more bodies , and a deepening mystery about simulated worlds complicate the picture .
_ the thirteenth floor
_ unfolds slowly and telegraphs its punches , choosing to elicit the more complex emotional response of empathy and anticipation rather than the cheap one of mere surprise .
the result is a movie that is a failure from two conventional points of view .
first , its plot revelations can be foreseen if one has carefully followed its complex storyline .
second and more seriously , it demands that its audience think and feel .
no wonder it fell through the cracks .
done in film noir style as a murder mystery , this is a relatively deep movie that functions on several levels .
many audiences will simply be bewildered by it , rather than engaged , which is a shame , because this movie amply repays a little emotional and intellectual investment .
i recommend a second viewing simply to get the flavor of the frequent ironic foreshadowing in the opening parts of the movie .
despite its philosophical challenges , _ the thirteenth floor _ derives its emotional force from the love story between jane fuller ( mol ) and douglas hall ( bierko ) , as well as the close friendship between douglas hall and hannon fuller .
in that sense it is more akin to _ gattaca _ than _
the matrix _ , which , for all of its cute philosophical byplay , is an adolescent movie with no emotional depth whatsoever .
the moment when jane fuller confesses her love for douglas hall is at once satisfying , wrenching and intellectually challenging .
in its final moments the film even takes on itself , when david , jane 's husband , who has come to enjoy killing , accuses her of being the sick one .
although there is a victory for the leading characters , this resolution suggests a disturbing element of fantasy in jane , and thus a deep - seated character flaw .
in fact , hannon fuller 's activities in the simulated world , the behavior of jane 's husband , and the effects of entering the simulation on douglas hall all hint at similar issues with those characters .
this is not a film of good people beset from without by great evil .
the tragedy is not in their stars , but in themselves .
the major actors , all of whom are required to play two or even three roles , perform extremely well .
bierko , who will be familiar as the psycho from _ the long kiss goodnight _ , is outstanding .
d'onofrio as whitney , who plays a pivotal role in support , also turns in a good performance .
the lovely gretchen mol , whose elegance , integrity , and determination suggest bergman in _ casablanca _ , does a wonderful job .
her voice , however , lacks the necessary weight at times .
this could be because she was given the worst lines in a movie whose major weakness is the script .
some minor flaws , hairline cracks in fine porcelain , appear in places .
there are one or two instances of jerky editing .
the script takes the edge off the film 's climaxes .
the atmosphere becomes too claustrophobic at times ( yet , there is a clue there too ) .
one wonders if even after two decades , _ blade runner _ is still casting its long shadow over sci - fi films .
one can see a group of suits in their suite , waving their hands imperiously at directors like the emperor in _ amadeus _ : " make it more
like_blade runner _ , you know , dark and rainy .
"
_ the thirteen floor _ is that rare exception among hollywood movies : a , rich , emotionally satisfying , intelligent sci - fi movie .
and yet , ultimately , it proves the suits right .
for when good sci - fi is made , where is the sf community turning out in droves to see it ? if we do n't support great sf , who will ?
