      Jelisije J A movie with an interesting premise, but fails with its highly unrealistic third act. Still was worth a watch though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Riles T Waste of time, Jessica alba is only there to make stupid people watch this, she cannot act, horrible movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Cloe 2 Giuro che se dovessi incontrare nella vita, qualcuno che viene a fare il saputone, che il film tal dei tali fa schifo perchè lo hanno detto i critici, gli riderei in faccia almeno per 20 minuti. Adesso i saputoni mi devono dire cosa ci sia di tanto sbagliato in questo film, e immediatamente dopo mi devono spiegare cosa ci sia di così eclatante in Cult Of Chucky. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Movie W I made an account just to rate this movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Odyssey 1 I really liked the premise. The acting was good and I appreciated the fresh feel of the movie. Definitely recommend. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Camas The implausible stacked on top of the unbelievable, told by a script that is untenable. Christensen and Alba are predictably eye-candy beautiful in wardrobe that looks more like a Christmas Macy's catalogue. The premise was thin before the bad screenplay and storyboard. Without revealing plot, just know that the supposed excruciating pain cannot happen without triggering bodily symptoms, so that whole segment just doesn't work any better than Wile E. Coyote physics. Then, add to that the never-happened conspiracy of no less than five placed cohorts in a murder-for-hire plot in a setting that is completely scrutinized by others. Presidential assassinations don't include five people. Finally, the magical instant salvific proxy is just dumb. SOOOO many hoops have to be jumped through that never happen that way. The entire production comes off as some daytime soap opera pitch as a chick flick, with glamorous rich folks and a contrived sympathetic handsome scion who actually a victim, despite his ridiculously privileged life.
