Rating: Summary: Decent movie but the book was much better Review: Just like a lot of novels that are turned into films, some major aspects were omitted during the translation. Morgan Freeman was great as always, but parts of the film moved extremely slow and I found my attention dwindling. However, if you are a fan of James Patterson and the Alex Cross series, it is worth checking out.
Rating: Summary: Terrible movie Review: What can I say - bad script, bad acting, bad movie. You know it's bad when you keep looking at your watch hoping it is almost over. The movie just doesn't move - it drags and drags and drags. The bad guy is so dull you can't understand why he even bothered to kidnap the victim. The real kicker for me was when the supposed good (ravinish babe) turns into the evil killer who had this all planned all along...
Rating: Summary: Does Morgan Freeman play any other character? Review: I mean really...all of the movies I've see him in. He plays the same damn character. Staunch and starchy. I guess you always know what to expect in his movies. As far as this movie goes. It's definitely a rental. Story lags at times and the surprises arent really surprising.
Rating: Summary: Uninvolving. Review: At any point in this film, I could have walked away without a backward glance. I didn't care about any of the characters in the film. It does have a surprise ending, for whatever that is worth.
Rating: Summary: a grate movie Review: this movie was intelligent and brilliant I say this is a must see movie.
Rating: Summary: Hitting Twist Review: This is another of Morgan Freeman's hit movies. If you are looking for a horror movie though, it lacks in scary scenes. The twisting plot and suspense are what make this movie a must buy!
Rating: Summary: An overall bore.......... Review: This movie was so dull! I'm surprised by this, as I liked Kiss the Girls, and Morgan Freeman is usually in pretty decent films. I have to say, though, that this was really horrible. Monica Potter was utterly unconvincing and her character pretty unlikeable. Come to think of it, I really didn't like any of the characters....or I should say, I didn't care one bit about them. Considering the story is about the kidnapping of a senator's young daughter, one would at least anticipate feeling sympathy and sorrow for the innocent child, but this film can't even deliver a "gimme" such as that! The plot was mucky and I honestly could have turned this movie off at any point and not given it another thought, such was my unconcern for the ending. However, I did endure the movie to its long-awaited end, so I can reliably express to you that it's not worth it!
Rating: Summary: One of the two worst movies I've paid to see Review: I am more than game for willful suspension of disbelief, but this film exceeded even my limits. Despite the great Morgan Freeman, the complete implausibility of the story and the wretched Ms. Potter overwhelmed. Even Freeman seemed to be phoning this one in. The other was The Lawnmower Man.
Rating: Summary: Dull as dirt Review: This movie was so boring that not even Morgan Freeman could save it, excellent actor that he is. The heroes were dull, and I didn't care what happened to them. Worse, the villains were even duller. In a movie this uninspired, they could have at least thrown in a little gratuitous skin for all the voyeurs out there.
Rating: Summary: Interesting, but I wanted more Review: I found this movie very interesting and entertaining. It starts out slow, as if to lull you into a false sense of security. There are some surprising plot twists, which I like. But I have to admit that I wanted more. It seems like there was more to the main antagonist. Maybe more in the book. Overall, a good movie.
