“Unlike the other posters so far, Iu0026#39;m not falling over in my seat at how amazing and awesome this movie was — because it wasnu0026#39;t. Donu0026#39;t be fooled by the fanboy stylings of earlier posts, this is not the latest u0026quot;Henry.u0026quot; To its credit, it wants to be a movie that good, but it falls short on a variety of levels. The acting is pretty good, but there are no star turns here, except perhaps for the always under-appreciated Beth Grant, in a small role at the end. The story is so-so, but it is filled with logical holes and strains credulity many times.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the biggest problem for me was depth. The movie wants to be weighing in on the way in which the filmmaker ends up behaving like the killer, but the plot doesnu0026#39;t slow down long enough to really explore it. It just keeps plowing ahead into new unlikely turn after turn, with no time left for a real reckoning for anyone.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt the end, Iu0026#39;m not sorry I watched it, but it wasnu0026#39;t all that great.”
