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

Example input: 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 !

Example explanation: The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").
Q: for a movie with such deep religious and spiritual undertones , it is surprising to find the messenger : the story of joan of arc such an ungodly mess . in the early to mid 1400 's , there was little in the way of spiritual light to be found shining from the heart of a man or woman .
the church was a dismally dark and oppressive place .
france was involved in " the hundred years war " against england .
there was no strong political leadership in the country .
morale was low , there being little hope for the future .
it was within this setting that a young french girl began hearing " voices " and seeing " visions .
" convinced that these were messages from god , she brazenly demanded to see the dauphin in order to deliver the message directly to him .
the message : if he would give her an army to command , she would deliver to him the crown .
he does . . .
and she does .
then , once seated on the throne , he abandons her to her english captors .
director luc besson ( the fifth element ) may have co - wrote the script but he never appeared to have a proper handle on the material . the inconsistencies of the cast , the confusing blur of the violent battle scenes , the inappropriate musical score , and the lack of a vibrant life force at the center of the film adds up to a largely disappointing end product which is oftentimes unintentionally laughable .
his biggest miscue was to cast his wife , milla jovovich ( the fifth element ) in the title role .
ms .
jovovich , looks spectacular as joan , clad in battle armor , astride a similarly protected horse .
if looks were enough to fully convey a character , she would have been brilliant .
since it is n't , she tried ( and failed ) to act the part .
her joan is unbalanced , " inspiring " the troops merely by screaming stridently and waving her banner or sword over her head like a woman possessed .
john malkovich ( being john malkovich ) fares a bit better as the dauphin , who joan would see on the throne as charles vii .
an easily manipulated man , his weakness of character foreshadows the betrayal of joan which would lead to her death .
faye dunaway ( the thomas crown affair ) gives a strong performance in minimal screen time as the dauphin 's mother - in - law and chief advisor .
the army under joan 's command are comprised of comical figures , more stooges than soldiers .
the one exception would be tcheky karyo ( la femme nikita ) as dunois , the man who was leading the attack prior to joan 's arrival .
trying to plan a systematic campaign , he sees his leadership authority negated by joan 's insistence on following her " visions .
"
dustin hoffman ( sphere ) has a small inhuman role as joan 's conscience which begins speaking to her while awaiting trial .
dressed like cloaked monk , he leads her to doubt herself and her " revelations .
"
as well she should .
scriptures do speak of revelation .
god , via his gift of holy spirit , is able to communicate to men .
three of the nine manifestations of holy spirit listed in 1 corinthians 12 deal with receiving revelation .
they are : word of knowledge , word of wisdom , and discerning of spirits .
even the scriptures themselves are a result of god giving revelation to his " holy men .
. .
who spake as they were moved by holy spirit ( i .
e .
by revelation . )
"
but the scriptures also caution us : " beloved , believe not every spirit , but try the spirits whether they are of god : because many false prophets are gone out into the world .
"
1 john 4 : 1
[ kjv ] joan 's end , ( being burned at the stake at the age of 19 ) , the frenzy ( mob rule ) and blood lust her inspiration wrought , and the death , pain , or suffering which followed her campaign all point to a devilish influence rather than a godly one .
while her conviction and intense believing remains an admirable quality , she was , as others have been before and since , misled by the spiritual master of deception .
as a messenger , she was quite effective .
she was just confused as to whose message she was carrying .
