bad advertisement

Nicholas Powell (Chatwin) is a high school student. Quite unhappy with his life, he lives at home with his mother (Marcia Gay Harden). Through a series of unfortunate misunderstandings, thanks to his friend Peter (Marquette), Nick is killed by Annie (Levieva). Nick's invisible soul will have to get in contact with Annie, to help with the police investigation and to correct her mistake.

Badly written. Too many flaws in the script. (Without spoiling much, it's always hard... but "bad girl" gets shot and a few minutes later, she's doing her errands as if she weren't shot at all?!?! Pllleeease!) And there was not enough depth, nor character development, for any of the roles presented here.

The direction wasn't all that bad. Chatwin and Lieviva have a lot of potential. The entire cast gave decent performances.

The previews I had seen for this had made me understood something else, which soon enough in the film, proved that the promotions and trailers were false and bad advertisement. Yes, it is a thriller, but what I mean is the story in the movie didn't turn out to be exactly as it was seen (or understood to be) in the trailers. Confusing.

It's not that bad for a thriller, but I didn't get thrills and chills. Perhaps it's also because the story's development and ending turned out to be predictable. Perhaps too much.

I wouldn't watch it again. Not any time soon any way.
