Movie Review by B Movie Ben
February 13th, 2008

I saw everything I wanted to see.

Favorite Movie Quote: "Everything you saw I wanted you to see."

A lot of people slammed this movie for various reasons. However, it is worth watching just for Angelina Jolie alone. I would watch her knit a sweater for 109 minutes and consider it a productive use of my time. I got more that that in the extra six minutes that is included in the Unrated version! I knew there was something creepy about young Asher, but even I was surprised when he moved into action. Then it turned into a serial killer hunt much as Kathy Reichs would have written in her novels, not her show currently on TV.

I had my suspicions about Costa (Ethan Hawke) and knew there was something that was going to happen after he and Jolie had that glorious six minutes.

The ending was brilliant and satisfying. Unfortunately it is not a film that you can watch again after that. But, maybe, just seeing those six minutes again is worth watching the film for.
