Title: Dreadful
Review: Remember the scene in Mrs Doubtfire(and countless other tv sitcoms) where the character leading a double life is about to get exposed and hilarious antics ensue?Well, change the word 'hilarious' to 'suspenseful' and thats basically the jist of the last half of this dreadful movie. Initially the slow decent into evil is interesting and the cast holds up. Unfortunately the plot is as manipulative as any hollywood junk and before you know it youre being led through 2 hours of the ups and downs of predictable murders and narrow escapes. There's not really much reason to like anyone in this besides Phillip Seymour Hoffman's smarmy side character. To top it all off towards the end theres a syrupy psuedo-psychological explanation of why poor my ripley is the way he is. Bring the air sickness bags. (...)
