Title: What a waste!
Review: I like DeNiro. I like Weaver. I wanted to like this film. I can't. It was a bit insulting in that it explains the obvious, like magic is just misdirection--in case no one had ever heard that before. The scenes were disjointed. If you have a TV, you know about ghost hunters and people with their odd contraptions trying to measure phenomena to prove or disprove their ideas. In case you've never seen these people on TV, the movie had to explain that too in a jumble of scenes. The most obvious problem with the plot was supposed to be a surprise. So, if you take a weak plot, add some clips that state the obvious, try to misdirect away from the most obvious of red herrings, and then add low light and popping electronics, a bloody fight, and dreams, this is the result. I liked approximately two things in the entire film. I'm glad I did not pay more.
