Title: psychos, meat puppets and J-Lo!
Review: The Cell is a portrait of a twisted mind. The plot has a weak arc and it does not create a catharsis for the viewer - that is, the film does not suck the viewer into the story's world but instead crams the story's world down the viewers throat. Much of the screen time was spent just torturing the audience with twisted imagery rather than moving the story forward. About a half an hour of screen time is spent showcasing puppets made out of dead people and flashbacks of the killer's sadistic childhood memories of his father. After 10 minutes you get the point and you are just waiting for the film to move forward. Get on with it already! If I wanted a dose of mindless twisted imagery, I'd go to a high school and stare at the disturbing paintings and sculptures of restrained teengers suffering from raging hormones. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.
