Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.
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 ?

The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

New input case for you: this is an adaptation of h .
g .
wells ' acclaimed novel ' the invisible man ' .
the actors are kevin beacon and elizabeth shue .
the director is paul verhoven .
that , plus a quick demonstration of the amazing special effects in the trailer , should be enough to lure us into the theatre .
the problem is to keep us there .
i ca n't imagine anyone who would like to see this movie a second time .
working on a top secret military project , sebastian caine ( kevin beacon ) -- an eccentric genius , that calls himself " god " , has discovered the secret to invisibility .
the first two faces are completed .
now , it is time for " the next logical step " -- human . caine volunteers for this risky experiment .
but when he is made invisible , something goes wrong .
while his ex - girlfriend linda ( elisabeth shue ) desperately tries to find something to return him to normal , he learns that invisibility is more of a prison than a superpower .
but that 's not the bad thing --
an unexpected side - effect of the drug sends him careening into paranoid megalomania .
he is naturally given a couple of modest superpowers , just enough for him to survive immolation from a flame thrower and an explosion of about a quart of nitroglycerine .
soon every sense of decency is forgotten .
the little intelligence that was left disappears as verhoven looses control and the film turns into an alien - rip - off , where caine is walking like a half finished terminator , spooking , scaring and killing everybody .
though it 's based on a novel called ' the invisible man ' , the title has been ironically changed to ' hollow man ' that sums up the film very nicely .
this is a very silly production .
laughable , actually .
apparently verhoven 's imagination does n't stretch too far
.
for him the only worthwhile reason to become invisible is so you can case the girls ' locker room undetected .
it is this primitive schoolboy mentality that eventually kills the movie . being invisible , gives you the opportunity to be who you are , to do what you want without being influenced by society .
in many ways it gives you an illusion of having a life without consequences .
the nature of man and his place in society is what the novel is truly about .
all that , the depth and true horror of the book is gone and only special effects make you remain in your seat .
caine does use his power voyeuristically in hollow man .
but since this is a modernization , in other words a dehumanization , he does n't stop there .
he becomes a rapist .
and then , of course , a murderer .
you 'll start wondering why such actors as beacon and shue found themselves in such film in the first place .
shue 's talent is barely seen , josh brolin is underused and
the rest of the cast suffer mostly for the lack of talent .
kevin beacon is the only one that performs gracefully .
his face is not seen for the most part of the film , and the only way he exists is as a disembodied voice .
there are times when his presence actually saves the film from being completely embarrassing .
in the end the effects are the only reason to see this film in the first place . being probably the best technical achievement since " jurassic park " , they are absolutely amazing .
we observe the layers of skin , muscle , tissue , and bone being peeled away as a body is slowly rendered invisible .
we see a beating heart , inflating lungs , and veins pulsing with newly - pumped blood .
there are a couple of inventive shots with smoke , fire , air and water , but are a few scenes like that worth attending a movie for ?
what is truly disturbing is that with a great book , talented actors and a grand budget , this could have been so much more .
pretty much like jan de bont ( " twister " , " haunting " ) , paul verhoven has never made anything extraordinary .
he was responsible for several good films ( " basic instinct " and " starship troopers ) " and some incredibly bad films ( " showgirls " , " total recall " ) , but he has never made anything that was great .
in a way " hollow man " fits perfectly in this collection .
it 's not better or worse than verhoven 's average film .
he proves once again that he is incapable of handling more complex issues .
and so , instead of depth and chills , verhoven inserts some of his trademarks :
stupid dialogue , and lot 's of dull action with blood and naked bodies .
he even throws in some of the worst of film clich ?
s - the slowly advancing fireball , the villain who comes back from the dead , etc , etc . - and tops the whole thing off with one of the most ridiculous endings of the year
( you 'll be screaming " nooooo ! " and attempt to run towards the exit in slow motion ) .
and all we can ask is why ?
the answer is simple .
though hollywood is a movie producing machine , the business of moviemaking has to be about something more than money .
it has to be about telling stories , not marketing them .
it has to be about transporting us to a different place , to dazzle us with magic and cleverness .
to make us care , to make us think and feel .
verhoven has obviously missed that point and this film is a proof of that .
it 's all flesh and bones , but no soul .
a void where its imagination should be .
