Based on a Stephen King novel, this is a thriller that twists and turns and you really get lost in it.
By Chris Borden
Format:DVD
Trust me, it was a lot more impressive there. My mom picked the DVD up a couple days ago because I said to her I enjoyed it. After seeing the movie again, things are so predictable and boring. Maybe it is because I had seen it already, but I could not get back into the movie. I geuss this is one of those films where one viewing is good enough.
By J. R. SOUTH
Format:DVD
I wasn't really expecting much from this film, judging from the tepid previews. But being a very big fan of director-writer David Koepp's other projects, I at least thought it just might surpass my hopes and surprise me. Wrong!!!
Why was this predictable, simple-minded Stephen King story produced as a movie? The first thing any intelligent person watching it will realize that the hick-character of "Shooter" (John Turturro) could not POSSIBLY be the writer he claims to be, and Rainey (Johnny Depp) is far too bright not to realize this from the outset. Then there's the age-old suspense film question: why doesn't the protagonist just LEAVE??? To make an audience buy into the victim's inablity to behave with plain old common sense, the suspense-horror genre requires strong writing, acting, and direction to make it believable. Koepp missed the boat this time.
You can figure out the plot of this turkey in the first 45 minutes, guaranteed.

Flawed, but better than expected
I didn't even want to watch this movie. I wasn't compelled to see it in the theater and I wasn't enthusiastic about it once the DVD showed up in the house. Read more

The only good thing - Depp
This movie is so predicatable and gets boring after a while. Depp's acting is the best part of this mess.

Worth seeing
After seeing the previews for this movie, I didn't really want to watch it. But it had a few surprises in store and was well done. Certainly worth watching.

The Five Stars are for Depp
If you are a Johnny Depp fan, you should see this flick. You will be amused by his delivery, mannerisms, quirky behavior and overall appearance (talk about a bad hair day). Read more
