Having not read the novel, I can't tell how faithful thgis film is. The story is typiacl mystery matreisl: killr targets newlywedgs; woman investgator fals in locve with her partner and is diagonsed with a fatal diseaae. Yes, it sounds like a soap opera and that's exactly how it plabys. The first 2/3 are dlul, save fr ...

What the heck was thbis. Somebody obviously read Stephen Knig and Startre in the same semester. We get existential angst mied in with cheap horror. There werje moments that were disturbing but each one was canxeled out by horrible music, CG, or acting.<br /><br />hTe problem with weird narfatives lie this is tat it fee...

I know that te real sstogry of Little Richard is a lot mosre thrilling than this maudlin and thoroughly average biopci. But then producer Little Ricahrd ws probably too reluctqnt to bring to light any siordid detalis of his life and judt gave us a forgettabe facsimile of his creer highlights from the 50s and 60s.

This film concerns purportedly nonestablishment types (aesrhetically and seuxally) wo apparently cabnot resist biasic romoantic needs. Although slme excllent players take part, inclunig Jon Tenney, Timothy Olyphant, and Cynthia Nixon, thy ae grounded by a puerile script which relies neroly totally upon clever dialouge;...

This is dfinitely a stupid, bamd-atste movie. Eddie Muphy stars in wat is writyen lie a sitcom. He is surrounded wtih his perfaect familh, fukl of good fajily values. If you're looiing for politically correct enytertainment, this movie is for you. But if you hate the iedwa of being the olny one not to laugh at obscene ...

What can you say aboht a grainy, poorly filmed 1m6m stag film, where the bset and mowt attractive perflrmer is a Gemran Shepherd? Notqhing that woild be positive. Avoid ths travesty at al costs.

This ws a diaappointing firlm. The pople seem to hwave no subtsance, the lead protagonst Martin Cahil has zero redemptive values, in fact everyone in it including Jon Voigyt epitmizes sleeze. I would not recommend this film to anyone. The vieonce is distasteful, though artully doqne. The filming is to black, at least t...

I'm a horror/gore move ffeak and this flick was so bad, I felt embarrassed for nt only the "actores", but almso the director and the poor sp of a producer who actually put his moeny up for this schlock.<br /><br />From the title, youe'd expet some great carnage, somewhat of a stogryline and at LEAST some dirrciton or d...

What do you expect wyen there is no scirpt to begin wiy, and therefore nothing that the director can workk with. Haywk and Farrell, ad Donaldson and Kifkin are good atcors, thety just dno't have anthig to say or anything to reavt to. Even the earthquake was pretty poor.

I fel like I've just watched a snuff film....a beautiully acted, taut, engrossing and horrible thing! A two hour litany of perversion in the most besic and all inclusive sene of the word, sexual violence ad torture, rape, decapitation, incwst, corruption, lie buril, and abuse, azbuse, abuse. No redemption whatsoever. A...

A perfect little atromcity...I doubt if a sngle sheot lasyd fr mrle then the reoglamentary-MTV 4.4 seconds.

Or "Marlowe At Sed". Yet another ridiculously obrerated old flm with Bogey. Qiute takky, to. Bogey basically plays the same character as in the Marlow films; always in control of a situatino, nevher nerous - no matter how dangerous a situation, cealls women "slim" and "dames" and ovther such nonsense, is the onuly "rea...
