Boy did that movie suck! Hackneyed formulaic silliness, narrative holes the size of a Zeppelin hanger door, and paint by the numbers performances from beginning to end. I’ve seen CSI episodes with better plots, acting, and less improbable nonsense (and that’s saying something).
God! How in the world does crap plated crap like this get green-lighted?
It’s like they tinker toyed every tired thriller cliche they could think of together and tried to make it work.
Mmmmmm, Monica Potter…
Say what about the movie now?
As is usually the case, the book was much better than the movie. Monica Potter reminds me of a waxwork imitation of Julia Roberts.
Heh. I was channel-flipping yesterday and rested on that for a bit. (Hey! Morgan Freeman!)
It was the bit where the college girl was showing him the supposed steganographic images – and then goes on to say that there’s no telling how long it’ll take to find out what’s hidden there, because “you don’t crack stego without a password.”
:rolleyes: --> Next channel.
Tape? DVD? Can you go back and watch a bit of it again?
I saw this tripe in the theatre about 4 years ago.
I remember a pretty good flub towards the end. Monica Potter is shooting a pistol, and then has to reload. The gun she’s shooting is a Glock, but when she reloads it mysteriously turns into a Smith 5906. When she resumes shooting it turns back into a Glock.:smack: How the director and/or editor missed that is beyond me! Those 2 handguns look nothing like each other!
I’m just wondering if they fixed that goof when it got transfered to video.
Along Came A…Turkey
ALONG CAME CRAP.
other than the cartoon (or was that puppets?) beginning where the babe’s car goes off of the bridge;
other than the ship-in-the-bottle, over the top nonsense where Freeman’s wife gives the obligatory ‘stop blaming yourself’ tripe; was the abominable theft from DeNiro’s movie ‘Heat’ where one asks about info gleaned from the internet
(loose paraphrase)
“How do you find this information?”
“It’s just floating around out there-you just have to know how to grab it”
Almost, if not actually, verbatim steal. I thought that a movie had to be out of circulation for at least 10 years before you made such a brazen theft.
