Detective Breslin will have to put everything together quickly to put a stop to it before their plan is completed. Generic cover, horror/thriller, Lionsgate all things that made me think it would be a subpar movie that was going to bleed into all the others I watch and be a waste of my time. I was wrong. It is still a B type movie; but it is one of the highest B movies I have seen. Dennis Quaid, Ziyi Zhang, and Lou Taylor Pucci are outstanding and really help bring this movie to a height it might not have reached. The story has a very “Seven” feel and not just because it deals with religious undertones. While there are some disturbing deaths involved I would consider it more thriller than horror. I actually really enjoyed the set-up and the idea behind it. One problem I had was that everything gets wrapped up really quickly by the time the end comes around. Almost like they were afraid to go over the 90 minute mark. I think another 5-10 minutes could have done wonders. This is one I am going to suggest to friends to watch once the price has dropped some. Grade is lowered for the rushed ending. |
