   I guess I thought more of it than everyone else.
   I thought Keanu Reeves wasn’t going to be believable as a serial killer but he was pretty good. Overall it was Ok. It had a "Seven" kind of feel to it.

   Starts pretty good, then big letdown.
   A real disappointment because it starts off looking exactly as if someone is going to do the serial-killer genre film right. James Spader is cast as an ex-FBI guy who gave up tracking a serial killer (played by Keanu Reeves) and he’s just plain interesting as such characters go. He’s got an interesting relationship with his therapist (the lovely Marisa Tomei) and even Reeves’s serial killer seems to have some style. Then, wham, by the final third the movie’s looking like every other similar film you’ve ever seen, and not a very good one at that. What a letdown.

   It wasn’t THAT bad, people. Geeeeeez…..
   Ok, it was pretty bad, but I’ve seen worse suspense dramas, even just recently. Movies like The Cell didn’t have ANY real drama yet weirdos like Ebert think it’s better than sliced bread? Heavens to Betsy, what’s this world coming to.

   As bad as it gets
   This movie was so bad, the boom microphone should have been given credits for appearing so often.
   I would have given it a 2, but there was one line about "decomposing" by Keanu that saved it.

   Stinker
   The story was lame. Both Keanu and Marisa Tomei looked like they’d just come home after being out drinking all night, Spader walked through his part like he was phoning it in. There really wasn’t anything on screen worth looking at.

   Don’t bother…
   I could go on and on about why this movie was so bad, but this should sum it up:
   Keanu Reeves - sucks as usual
   James Spader - good actor, but his character really made no sense…therefore he sucked too.
   Marisa Tomei - useless

   Put it back on the shelf.
   This piece of dreck doesn’t have a bad plot, and there are a few good ideas both in story details and in camerawork. However, most of the movie is pretty freaking amateur.

   The sound is awful. There are moments in every Keanu Reeves scene where you can hear "clipping" in his dialogue. What you get when the microphone is overtaxed. Kind of buzzy/staticy.

   There is very little "ambient" sound in the movie. When James Spader walks around his apartment, which is in the middle of the city and a dive, you can’t hear any noise from outside– just his every action.

   The music is completely incongruous with what’s going on in the film. It’s like somebody tried to stick their favorite mix tape into the soundtrack.

   There are glaring continuity problems.
   There are glaring plot holes.
   There are glaring logic errors.

   Marisa Tomei, who I last saw in "Slums of Beverly Hilss" looks like she’s been ridden hard and put away wet for most of the time. On top of that, she has nothing to do.

   James Spader looks appropriately tired and stuff, but it gets old. And then they have his character do things that don’t make sense.

   Intelligent movie fans shouldn’t waste their time on this thrown-together piece of junk.
