Negative Positive
Title: Had Potential..... But Overall Dissappointing.
Review: I bought this DVD based on reccomendations from friends and some of the strong reviews I read here at Amazon. I thought the premise of the movie was quite clever, and I thought it was well cast. However, I feel the movie was hurt by poor developement of the characters and the story. It seemed like the movie had a hard time getting going. I found myself waiting for something to happen and before I knew it the film was over. There were a number of questionable plot points that I won't get into here. If you're one of those people that always pick up on things in movies, like "how did that guy get there?", then you will find that there a number of those type of moments in The Cooler.Overall, the movie was based on an interesting idea but that's where it ends. I would reccomend reading the back cover and leaving it at that. If you must see it, rent, don't buy.
Is the review positive or negative?
