excellent
A display of Johnny Depp with his mobile face frozen into stiff-faced sameness only because the script and story premise are totally inane beyond belief. Roman Polansky is thumbing his nose at whoever pays money to see this atrocity.

The movie falls apart toward the end as it enters "Eyes Wide Shut" territory, but until then, it's fun to see bookworms cast in the James Bond mode. Full Review

A supernatural thriller that is neither super, natural, nor thrilling. Full Review
