I saw GodSend in the Theatres and it was okay. I definitly suggest that you rent this one first, and then if you like it, buy it. But, I liked it okay so buying it is a maybe. If they had done more on the whole subject of cloning, then it could be a four star. I love Cameron Bright, he is an absolutly wonderful little actor!
*****Splendidly Horrendous*****
This film is absolutely horrible. It is a cheap, thrown together attempt that had no thought put in to it, whatsoever. I agree with the previous that it had a good concept. The idea was great and had a lot of potential; Unfortunately, they ruined it. The plot is lacking, and the movie is very predictable. The first 30 minutes of the film just flies, with one thing happening after another, not allowing you to actually recieve any feeling from it. It is not in any way original; mainly getting its ideas from other such films as The Ring, or Sixth Sense. Poor Robert DeNiro must have been contracted to do this film, cause it must be one of the worst in his career. To me, anyone who enjoys this film must have a simple mind that is easily amused.
..........what a waste of life..........
WEIRD
IDE GIVE IT A 3 IN A HALF. THIS MOVIE WAS SOMEWHAT CONFUSING. TO MANY TWISTS. IT MAKES IT CONFUSING. THOUGH IT DOES GET CREEPY AT PARTS. BUT WHOEVER THOUGHT OF CASTING ROBERT DENIRO AS A CRAZED DOCTOR AND THINKING HE COULD PULL IT OFF......WEL THEY WERE SADLY MISTAKEN
While it doesn't rank with such grim classics as The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, D.J. Caruso's Taking Lives offers similarly heavy atmosphere, beginning well before fizzling into absurdity. Freely adapted from the novel by Michael Pye, and set in Montreal (although it was filmed in Quebec City), the plot trades in several familiar tropes of the serial-killer genre, beginning with the FBI agent (Angelina Jolie) who brings her unique skills (and brooding, low-key demeanor) to the vexing case of a killer who, out of apparent self-loathing, steals the identities of his victims and lives their lives until it's time for the next gruesome murder. Ethan Hawke plays the killer's alleged next victim, and in a film filled with twists that grow increasingly unconvincing,...

Johnny Depp gets high off another acting challenge in this tricky adaptation of a Stephen King yarn. Although the mood is too sinister to allow for the mischief of his Pirates of the Caribbean turn, Depp still manages to embroider his role here with plenty of quirky business. He plays a writer, depressed and nearly divorced, who's stuck in an isolated cabin (shades of The Shining) when a stranger (John Turturro) arrives, accusing him of plagiarism. Writer-director David Koepp (Stir of Echoes) does his best to make the rickety material compelling--he gets the maximum out of the cabin set, for instance--but the problems inherent in the King story eventually win out. The climactic scenes are particularly unpleasant, especially in contrast to the cleverness of Depp's...

Despite box-office dominance during its opening weekend, The Butterfly Effect is better suited to guilty-pleasure viewing at home. When writer-directors Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber (who penned Final Destination 2) aren't breaking their own haphazard rules of logic, they're filling this sordid thriller with enough unpleasantness to make eternal damnation seem like an attractive alternative. In a role-reversal from his That '70s Show persona, Ashton Kutcher plays a college-age psychology student who discovers, by re-reading his childhood journals, that he can revisit his past and alter traumatic events, hoping to improve their previously unfortunate outcomes. Instead, this foolhardy experiment in chaos theory (the titular "butterfly effect," popularized by Jeff...

Style trumps substance in Man on Fire, a slick, brooding reunion of Crimson Tide star Denzel Washington and director Tony Scott. The ominous, crime-ridden setting is Mexico City, where a dour, alcoholic warrior with a mysterious Black Ops past (Washington) seeks redemption as the devoted bodyguard of a lovable 9-year-old girl (the precociously gifted Dakota Fanning), then responds with predictable fury when she is kidnapped. Prolific screenwriter Brian Helgeland (Mystic River, L.A. Confidential) sets a solid emotional foundation for Washington's tormented character, and Scott's stylistic excess compensates for a distended plot that's both repellently violent and viscerally absorbing. Among Scott's more distracting techniques is the use of free-roaming,... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Tony Scott DVD Release Date: Released the 14 September 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours
