An average movie

Posted : 13 years, 3 months ago on 16 January 2011 09:49

Basically, there was a time when I would go to a video game shop (which is now closed) and I would buy there on a regular basis 5 DVDs for 5 euros and, sometimes, since I would be missing 1 DVD, I would pick up pretty much anything at random just to reach 5 movies. Anyway, following this amazing process, I ended up watching some rather obscure movies and this one was definitely one of them. At least, there was a decent cast involved (Forest Whitaker, Julia Stiles, Jeremy Renner, Peter Coyote)  and they all delivered some solid performances. Furthermore, the story was not bad and it definitely had some potential. Indeed, it was quite intriguing as long as it was focusing on the insurance investigator played by Forest Whitaker. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie didn’t completely work for me. Indeed, it managed to create a nice mysterious mood but, at some point, like any other average other thrillers, they had to come up with some kind of explanation which was rather underwhelming after all. Above all, what bothered me the most were those twists at the end which were just plain annoying. Still, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I thought it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Forest Whitaker did an excellent performance as usual and although the movie had a good storyline, some good little twists and the ending was excellent and unexpected, It didn't really do a great deal for me. I felt pretty neutral throughout the whole thing.
