Movie Reviews of Furnace (Unrated)
Movie Review: A Solid Movie All Around!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't reviewed many movies. And just being honest here, I think there's more to consider when reviewing a movie than there is when reviewing a book. Primarily because I think 'things' (And this could just be me), heard and seen visually have more of an impact on people than things that they just read. One movie I reviewed was 'specifically' and only because the cursing in it offended me and I didn't agree with the PG-13 rating.
(I'm no stranger to cursing), but when I don't want my children even in the room, that kind of spells it out for me. And had I had known that by a more accurate rating, I wouldn't have started watching it, nor allowed them to begin watching it and then had to say, "You can't watch this anymore!" Forest Gump is another movie with some gruesome parts but I still agree with the PG-13 rating as it wasn't something I left the movie specifically remembering.
That said, 'Furnace' isn't rated, it is a "Horror/Suspense" and over all I don't think I would mind if my 15 year old watched it when he was 13, though I wouldn't go lower than that age. (Far as violence and weird he's probably seen worse in video games. (There is a sex scene), but I think it's tastefully done, and I'm also one of those "strange beings" that think there are far worse things than sex. (None of us would be here, were it not for that, and that's something I think most 13 year olds now days are aware of. So I must say, "Great Special Effects Alone... Does Not A Great Movie Make."
Now on to Furnace. Which does have some great special effects that fit with the story line of the movie. But in addition to that, I was pleasantly surprised to find that when you review it all the way around, it's solid there as well. Meaning there is a story and it's an interesting and "Quite Out There" one. And also there is some solid acting all the way around as well. Creepy? Yes. Will it make you jump on a few occasions? Yes! But I don't think I'm going to be having any nightmare's either. The most recognizable people in it are Michael Pare as the detective who has the typical burden one would expect a law enforcer to be bearing, Tom Sizemore who has a chip on his shoulder for the detective and who succeeds in making you not like him, and Danny Trejo because I remember him from many other films (Dust Till Dawn) being just one, and he's one actor that you always remember. I don't know if this is Ja Rule's acting debut but if it is, he has done better than well. And the 'Doc' "Jenny McShane" also puts in a very strong performance. (I think if this was just horror with no substantial story to base it on, or special effects alone, this movie would be an abysmal failure). But because you get to liking the detective, hating the guard, and liking the "Doc" when things start happening, you actually care what happens to them.
I think some of the reviews here have already said pretty much perhaps what happens in this movie but I for one, am going to have to watch it again, as there is something said, at the very end, and in order to see if that is what was 'really' taking place, I would have to view it again and pay more attention. (Although I thought I was paying attention the first time and my attention was held throughout).
Definitely entertaining and definitely something that will make you think about "things" outside the normal realm, we have yet to fully understand. What is the most frightening of all, is it is said to be based on a true story.
