Nine Lives Reviews

Only a couple of weeks ago, Kevin Spacey was still regarded as one of the best American actors from the last 20 years but, overnight, he turned out to be a major sexual creep and many are predicting that his career is now pretty much over. On the other hand, considering Spacey’s latest movie choices, it seems that the guy himself actually didn’t really care anymore and this movie was a perfect example. I can imagine that when Kevin Spacey read this script, he knew from the start that it was some garbage but he also knew that he would only have to show up for a couple of scenes and do some voice-over work for the cat for the rest of the movie so he basically went for the easy money. Considering the movie itself, it was just such a misguided concept. Indeed, the body-swap thing is an old gimmick which has never been really interesting even when it was something new and this movie certainly didn’t add anything worthwhile to this concept.  That’s also the terrible thing about the new possibilities provided by the modern CGI technology. Indeed, nowadays, they are able to create some photo-realistic  animated animals which was pretty cool in ‘The Jungle Book’ but, most of the time, they deliver some awul movies like this one or ‘Marmaduke’.  At least, they didn’t animate the cats’s lips. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was just so boring, it was a big waste of time and it is obviously not work a look.
