Movie Review: Good intense thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
A prominent psychiatrist doctor(Douglas) must get a 8 digit code from the mind of a troubled teenager(Brittany Murphy) in order to rescue his daughter who has been kidnapped by a band of ruthless bank robbers led by a enigmatic and superb Sean Bean.The code is a 8 digit number which is the number of a coffin where the girl hide her doll which her father took to hide the red ruby that the robbers took in a bank robbery and the teenager father hide prior the robbers killed him for not telling them where the ruby was.
With various flashbacks and intense action the plot is good and adecuate.
My father went to the theatrical premier in Spain and told me that the history was intense.He was right.
Also a issue I have found on the Dvd:
The packet says that includes a French Dolby Surround audio track when in reality is a Spanish Dolby Surround audio track.
I Hope you can correct this issue.
Movie Review: An intense thriller.
Summary: 4 Stars
Michael Douglas plays both an awesome psychiatrist and a terrific father of an eight year old girl in this tense thriller about a group determined to get a ten million dollar jewel lost in a robbery ten years ago. One of Michael's patients is the key to that jewel, and the terror group knows it. They kidnap his daughter, eight year old Jessie and unless Michael is prepared to use his psychiatric expertise to pry a six digit number from his patient's head, his daughter, and perhaps others will die. The only part I couldn't relate to was the mother of 8 yr old Jessie, played by Brittany Murphy, who spent most of her time with a broken leg in her bed. Her acting in some scenes was great, but for the most part I just felt she didn't act like the mother of a kidnapped daughter would act. Her grief didn't seem real, her terror not quite plausible, otherwise, a great film well worth your time.Movie Review: Pedestrian yet Creepy tale works well on DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This is yet another suspense vehicle for Michael Douglas. Douglas is starting to look tired in this one but these types of roles seem to fit him perfectly just the same. The plot is not all that bad even though it gets predictable along the way. The film somehow remains interesting based in part to the strong performances by the main cast. Brittany Murphy turns in a good performance as the institutionalized teenager from whom psychiatrist Douglas must extract information to get his own daughter back from bad guy Sean Bean. Thus, the film acts as both a thriller and a mystery. The finale is very good and very unsuspected considering the previous settings. From a visual perspective the finale is quite creepy and curiously resembles the Halloween genre, but is very well done and very effective. I enjoyed this film much better on DVD than when I saw it in the movie complex.Movie Review: DVD Better Then The Theatre
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie works so much better on the DVD. I thought it was "Okay" on the theatre but mych mor einteresting at home.The DVD extra's ont his one are fantastic. The Directors commentary and even commentaried from Michael Douglas, Oliver Platt and the two female leads.
The cast commentaries were seperated and selcted scenes only, but none the less interesting. The behind the scenes of the profuction, filing and sets were really good.
ALthough the film lasck certain elements of intrique, Michael Dougla's performance, as always, is great and believable. I even giive credit to the little girl (Sky) who played this very naturally! The cinematography is also very interesting done by Amir Moriki.
This is a good thriller for the home collection. In the Alfred Hitchcockian Style, but not as good of course. I think you'll like this one.
Movie Review: A tense enjoyable thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good movie. In the opening sequence we are introduced to the villain of the story. Bankrobber Patrick Koster (Sean Bean from "GoldenEye") steals a 10 million dollar diamond, but he gets conned out of it by one of his accomplices and is sent to prison.Ten years later the diamond remains unfound and Koster is released from prison. The only person who knows the whereabouts of the diamond is the catatonic young woman Elisabeth (Brittany Murphy). Koster kidnaps Dr. Nathan Conrad's young daughter Jessie to make him get the information from Elisabeth's troubled mind.
The story is nothing extraordinary, but the actors and actrices are a treat to watch. Michael Douglas, Sean Bean, Famke Janssen, Brittany Murphy, Oliver Platt, Jennifer Esposito. They're all right on their game, and that's why this movie WORKS!
