Negative Positive
Title: two stars is generous
Review: A rookie cop teams up with a legendary (and paralyzed) detective to solve a Saw-meets-Se7en serial killer.This film is bad on almost every level. The worst part is the plot, which even if you turn your brain off still produces a bunch of "huh? you're kidding..." moments. No joke: documenting the plot holes, deux ex machina contrivance, and just plain inanity of it all would be a Unabomber-length manifesto. Moving past that, however, the performances are wooden enough to make a thousand toothpicks, and the cinematography tries to go for "dark and creepy" but just manages to make things to dim to see.I came close to giving this turkey one star, but couldn't quite bring myself to do it. There are worse things out there, but there is so much better, too.
Is the review positive or negative?
