CobraKevin Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Summary: Nick Powell (Chatwin) was arguably the perfect teenager. He had his best friend, a popular, likable persona, and was planning to set his writing career in motion after graduation. When his friend gets in deep with the wrong crowd, however, Nick decides to get involved. Things take a turn for the worse as this tight crowd, led by a female delinquent Annie (Levieva), beat Nick and leave him for dead. Oddly enough, Nick's life hangs by a thread as his "spirit" is stuck between realms with the task of discovering the truth behind his attack. The problem becomes that Nick's only hope of survival is for the detectives on the case to find his body before time runs out. And the only person who can help make that happen is the scared teen girl that put him there to begin with. Pros: The movie trailer convinces you the storyline is intriguing and that these young, scarcely-known actors/actresses would put on an impressive show. Cons: The movie itself said just the opposite. The storyline was poorly driven, poorly executed, and just far too slow. 90% of the acting was grotesque, the other 10% mediocre. Conclusion: 1.5/5.0. Cut and dry, it was a waste of time and money. Even if you're extremely curious, I'd wait for Blockbuster to grab it (if they do). -Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Excellent, the reviews are back. Now do Condemned. I just got back from it and absolutely one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
