In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

Let me give you an example: 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 )
The answer to this example can be: N
Here is why: The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

OK. solve this:
boy , what a great movie ! !
keanu reeves and morgan freeman acting together , the director of the fugitive ( andrew davis ) back again to give us another thriller , and the beautiful rachel stealing beauty weisz thrown in to boot .
how could this not be a blockbuster ?
all die - hard keanu reeves
fans , read on .
ol " much ado about nothing
" plays eddie kasalivich , a machinist studying at the university of chicago .
to help pay for the rent , he takes on this job making the machinery for a hydrogen project being conducted by the university .
by happy coincidence , he also happens to stumble on the solution to the final problem and thus is the only one who knows the key to performing this feat of miracle physics .
this project holds great promise : taking hydrogen from water and giving out more energy than is put in .
a potential solution to the earth 's energy problems without the pollution cost .
surely nobody could have any problems with that ?
morgan freeman is paul shannon , the project 's sponsor .
he works for a very powerful organization that disagrees with the paternal project leader as to how quickly technology should be released to the public .
he figures the world will disintegrate into anarchy if the results of the project are released too quickly .
so he murders the project leader , blows up the project ( great but short scene here , sort of like a mini id4 city - devastation thing ) and tries to simulate the experiment at some other hi - tech hush - hush location .
unfortunately , our intrepid machinist and an english physicist ( weisz ) manage to get away and now follows a fugitive - like chase using a not too dissimilar rehash of that movie script .
this movie is just dying for a comparison with " the fugitive " .
both movies use chicago as the main city and since the place does n't change much , i guess we ca n't really blame the setting for the paucity of atmosphere .
the trouble here is that where the fugitive had harrison ford and tommy lee jones , chain reaction only has keanu reeves and fred ward .
credit to them , but we are n't really given much of a chance to empathise with the characters .
where ford was able to work within the confines of the movie to evoke sympathy , eddie kasalivich
just doesn9
t seem very believeable and reeves ' character is never given the time to develop .
it might have been a better investment in film to give the characters more depth and spend less time on the chase sequences , which frankly , get quite boring after a while .
harrison ford was " the man against the world .
"
he was alone in a world where he did n't know who to trust and it came across real well .
in chain reaction , keanu reeves is n't alone .
now that would be fine if the fleeing couple had some chemistry and could really portray some paranoia , vulnerability and confusion .
we do n't get this .
we get him thinking he 's still in speed , only
now our sandra bullock has an english accent , probably does n't drive a bus , and hardly contributes anything to the movie .
the producers here probably thought , " hey , what if keanu and rachel do n't hit it off too well ?
let 's rope in that morgan to help us out .
"
well , keanu and rachel did n't hit it off well on the screen , and most unfortunately , morgan freeman does n't help much either .
the only thing we come to really know of paul shannon is that he always has a full load of cigars in his cigar holder .
it 's not really his fault .
once again , andrew davis just does n't take the time to build his characters .
someone must have convinced him that this time round , cinema dollars are best earned by making the movie run like a headless chicken .
the flying inkpot rating system :
