Winged Creatures Reviews

Since this movie had some rather poor ratings, I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since there was a pretty cool cast involved, I thought I might as well give it a try. Well, to be honest, I was actually positively surprised and I thought it was pretty good. Indeed, this movie was basically some typical hyperlink tale, mixing several tales making sure that all these tales are coming together at the end. Personally, I always had a weak spot for this genre and I thought that this story was rather intense and quite heartbreaking. As I mentioned, there is a very interesting cast (Kate Beckinsale, Forest Whitaker, Guy Pearce, Dakota Fanning, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Embeth Davidtz, Jackie Earle Haley, Jennifer Hudson, ...) and they all gave some good performances. In fact, concerning Kate Beckinsale, even though she has always been lovely to look at, she also always ends up in some rather underwhelming movies but this feature was definitely an exception. Concerning the director Rowan Woods, after ‘Little Fish’, it was another decent directing effort but, unfortunately, he would spend the rest of his career working on some rather obscure TV-shows. Anyway, to conclude, even though this movie wasn’t really a masterpiece, I thought it was a decent drama and I think it is actually definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
