One of the worst movies ever made


There were just too many flaws with this movie.




1. The 1st girl who got killed. She's in a mall full of like 100 people and nobody has seen her. Even when she was going down in the Elevator the cops didn't see her its just stupid.


2. How the hell the Keanu Reeves manage to get in her apartment without any proof that he broke in??


3. The girl at the photostore. "I have to call my boss" Well one of your employees is about to get killed and its an emergency. You should give the cops the number to her apartment.


4. James Spader's character is a former cop/druggie who pops pills whenever he wants to, and gets his job back and starts bossing everybody around and talking to people like they're crazy. Like when he grabbed that guy who was crossing the street. Its just terrible.





I laughed at most of the scenes because it is laughly bad.






RIP MICHAEL JACKSON 1958-2009

*Blinks* Tell me this post is not serious, because posts like these are REALLY irritating. I'm Serious, I have seen bad movies, this was not one of them. Its not a blockbuster no, but as a film, its okay. If you want bad, look at Uwe boll.

I agree on Uwe Boll, but this movie is very bad as well, the 2 main actors deserve a razzie.

I thought it was a good film with great casting. Too bad Charbanic never worked again. I think he's rather talented.

Actually it was a very entertaining film with good actors and a good script. I enjoyed it.

If you don't like, that's fine but one of the worst ever made? Hardly. Have you never seen anything by Ed Wood? Have you ever seen Manos: The Hands of Fate or any of the other movies they used on Mystery Science Theater 3000? Or maybe you were just using a very large number like, "This has to be one of the one million worst movies ever made."

1. People don't look at who is waiting on them in a store. There have been experiments done in which a person is talking to an employee who excuses himself for a moment and a totally different employee who looks nothing like him walks up to the customer and continues the conversation as if it had been him all along and a lot of the customers don't even notice. (And the cops didn't happen to look that way at the right moment.)

2. Did they say there was no sign that he'd broken in? I just remember them saying that the victims didn't know he was in there. That can be done.

3. Where I work I would have to call my boss, too, because I wouldn't have access to my co-workers' home addresses.

4. He was taking prescription medications for his migraines and insomnia. He was still an FBI agent (at least he was referred to as one on the news) just on some sort of extended disability leave or something and no one else knew the case as well as he did. Do you think a cop has never grabbed a person on the street? Sure, the guy probably could have made a big deal out of it but not everyone wants the hassle. It's not as if he actually hurt him.

nah i think all the original points had valid and logical themes in the movie, the only part i agree with the OP about is about how he was able to get into the premises as he would and evade being detected. is there some way i am aware of of locking a door from the inside and without a key once you are in. getting in could have been plausible and of course half of these girls may have just assumed they forgot originally to lock up and went on about their business when returning home. i don't know.

reply

Decent movie (if you're not specifically watching it for plot holes, like the OP)

Terrible director. There are just some really, really bad shots in this, which might ruin it for some people.

I liked it.

reply

It was a good story and an entertaining film...ask reeves why the very competent director never worked again.

reply

OP, you want a bad movie? Try 'She-Creature'. That was so bad I couldn't finish it.

reply

It is aggressively stupid. The opening minutes tell you everything you need to know. Random serial killer played by some who's completely miscast, bad music, twitchy camera work.

"1. The 1st girl who got killed. She's in a mall full of like 100 people and nobody has seen her. Even when she was going down in the Elevator the cops didn't see her its just stupid.

I agree, all this 'have you sen this girl' crap in this movie is stupid on so many levels it made my brain overload, I can't even analyze it all. It's just so implausible and ridiculous.

"2. How the hell the Keanu Reeves manage to get in her apartment without any proof that he broke in?"

This one was actually explained in the movie, he is supposedly as skilled a lockpicker as 'Lockpicking Lawyer'. This was the least stupid part of the movies, because at least it makes some kind of sense. This can't be said about a whole lot of the other things in this movie, though.

"3. The girl at the photostore. "I have to call my boss" Well one of your employees is about to get killed and its an emergency. You should give the cops the number to her apartment."

Maybe I am giving this trash'movie' too much credit, but I thought this simply meant the boss is the only one that has that information, so she has to retrieve it from her boss, because she doesn't have it. Of course, anyone can impersonate a cop and flash a fancy badge, people aren't generally trained to recognize the signs of a real police ID, or differentiate between a fake and a real badge, etc., so this kind of scam would be easy. She would be right to be cautious.

Of course, if I remember (as my brain tries to forget I ever saw this, it's difficult) correctly, there were a lot of cops in uniform frolicking around, so that might have been a clue for her.

"4. James Spader's character is a former cop/druggie who pops pills whenever he wants to, and gets his job back"

I was also shocked to see they simply have him in the payroll without questions asked, the therapist would've probably sent him to some kind of clinic or rehabilitation program first, but nope. Everyone just accepts his casual drug abuse. WHAT?
