      Cinephemeride [ a very small film with a well-crafted storyline but weak and ineffective production which only finds real interest in the presence of Val Kilmer Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Cristian s Bastante genérica, nada que no se haya visto antes. Igual la película se sostiene bastante bien a pesar de ser muy clase B. El final es malísimo. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The Traveler Was Amazingly Horrible. The Film, If That Is Even An Appropriate Word To Use Here, Takes Place On A Boring Christmas Eve In An Even More Boring Police Station. Things Get Slightly Less Dull When A Drifter Appeard With Some Murders To Confess To. In This Film Centered Around The Supernatural And Vengeance, This Drifter's Confessions To Murder Kill The On-Duty Officers... In Real Time... The Premise Actually Isn't That Bad. It's Interesting Even, But The Execution Is Horrid (And Not In A Good Way). For Starters, The Acting Is Piss Poor, Save For Maybe One Or Two Performances. At Best, The Acting Is Low-Budget Netflix Drama Series Quality. The Gore Is Clearly So Fake And Unconvincing. The Editing Is Weird And Choppy. And Most Inportantly, The Writing Falls Flat With Its Major Inconsistencies And Bad Dialogue. In The Film, The Main Character Played By Val Kilmer Is Seeking Vengeance For A Crime That They Are Supposedly Innocent To. Ok. Makes Sense. But Then, We Discover That The Drifter WAS In Fact Guilty, Hence The Confessions... How Can You Seek Vengeance For A Crime You Are Guilty To WHILE BEING A GHOST?? I Honestly Can't Believe That This Film Was Greenlit. It's Just Another Case Of A Film That Had A Useable Idea, But Suffered Terrible Execution. I Have Only One Word To Describe This Movie -- Horrendous (And Not In A Good Way) -- And I Have Only One Rating To Appropriately Give To This Movie: 12%. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The Traveler follows the night shift at a police station on Christmas Eve has a stranger enters and confesses to the killings of six people I've seen worse horrors but this is still a pretty bad. It doesn't help that you can tell exactly what will happen from the first 10-15 minutes but even that doesn't excuse how uninteresting the film is. Shutter Island is the perfect example of a film that's very predictable but still gripping. The Traveler is nothing of the sort and just ends up being a tedious slog. There are some funny moments but these aren't intentional and come about due to either bad effects, bad acting or both. Val Kilmer looks thoroughly bored throughout and has the look of somebody who knows his career has seen much better days. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Creepy, unsettling, but not very good along the lines of seriousness. I found myself laughing when something "terrible" happened. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Visually captivating but the story derails quickly. Good blood and gore fest thought. This is probably five fat Val Kilmers out of ten. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Brian Holcomb CinemaBlend The film seems to be straining at times for an existentialism way outside of its grasp. This isn't Camus; it's Rod Serling by way of Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter. Rated: 2/5 Feb 14, 2011 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Even by the questionable standards of the straight-to-video arena, The Traveler comes off as an unwatchable and thoroughly aggravating cinematic experience... Rated: .5/4 Jan 30, 2011 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Kilmer's coasting, but who could blame him? 15 years ago he was Batman and now he's in the wilds of Canada surrounded by local actors forced to act menacing for the director of Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy. I'd be sad too. Rated: D- Jan 18, 2011 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis You know exactly what's happening about ten minutes in and how the whole thing is going to unfold.
