Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Tim Kerr-Thomson The basic plot is good and the acting and actors are also good. However, the film gets let down in other areas. The film is very disjointed. It jumps between past and present with no obvious divisions so you can readily work out where you are in the timeline. This becomes very frustrating. The story has many holes in it which you expect to be filled but they never are. This again leaves you very frustrated. Overall it feels like half of the movie was never made.
hughman55 Before I eviscerate this giant bag of dumb, it's worth pointing out that Ryan Reynolds, Rosario Dawson, and Scott Speedman, give really good performances. Mireille Enos plays the same catatonic depressive that she plays in everything else. Actually, not worth the time to take this mess apart. They already got 1:50 of my time. That's more than they deserved. Cliff notes screed: stupid storyline, pointless chronologic leap frogging in time, TERRIBLE screenplay. Don't. Just don't.
tiagotmp I didn't like. Simple, I think should have more action and surprises. Good actors
boardertrash I'm going defend this film, I've probably watched 4 films a week for the last 10 years so we get through a lot of dross and have gotten to know what movies are like that are rated below 6, this isn't one. OK, so the ending could have been better but it's not a complete let down and the rest of the movie is well acted. I think the key to it being poorly rated is because it's eerily frustrating to watch which is definitely the intention here, if you can appreciate that then you'll like it as we did. There are some creepy performances and it's a bit twisted in a way. All in all it should be rated somewhere between 7 and 7.5, solid but not amazing, worth a watch.
