Negative Positive
Title: Absolutely terrible
Review: This movie was such a disappointment. The first half hour provided a real mood of suspense and menace, but it went headlong into the toilet after that. The writer had a great opportunity to use the topics of paranoid delusion, military testing, and isolation to create doubt about what was real and what was imagined, but instead he/she went way overboard and made it clear that the guy was merely a nutcase. The scenery-chewing acting in the finale drew unintentional laughter and by the end I had no empathy for any of the characters. Sad to say, I actually cared more about the "bad guy" than the supposed heroes. Harry Connick Jr. did a good job as the abusive ex (not exactly a tough role to play), but the two leads had nothing to work with after the first act. I felt badly for for Ashley Judd as she flat-out embarrassed herself at the end trying to bring intensity to the ridiculous dialog she was given. Poorly conceived and directed, and a complete waste of time.
Is the review positive or negative?
