Review

from the director of “shadow of the vampire” comes a sort of cross between minority report and seven, though it’s not as good as either. the concept is decent enough, but it’s just not a very well done film. there’s too much artificial style and not enough time spent on really rounding out the characters or the entire dilemma. the film, above all, could have used a screenplay polisher to give it a good going-over. the very first scare of the film is of a man inside a diner, sitting next to a window while it’s raining outside being scared by a couple people outside who are goofing off, one of whom bangs their hand against the glass which frightens the man and the audience. thankfully that was the only cheap scare in the film, but it’s not a great way to start out a film.
