Okay. So five guys in various states of having been beaten up/tied up/shot
all wake up sequentially in a big ol' warehouse that they can't get out of.
None of them has any short term memories (or any memories at all, actually)
and over the next short while, they figure out that they are kidnappers and
kidnapees...but NONE OF THEM CAN REMEMBER WHICH IS WHICH.
Sounds really good, no? and the cast: Jim Caviezel (ka-VEE-zel), Joe Pantoliono, Greg Kinnear, Barry Pepper (the guy from The Green Mile) and Jeremy Sisto, Brenda's nutcase brother from Six Feet Under. What a great cast, a whole pile o' second-lead (that Mel Gibson thing notwithstanding) character actors, all sharing a wierd situation. But no. This is another idea that probably sounded good over lunch and a couple of martinis, but really lacked focus in the actual making of the movie. Truth to tell, it's dull. The most interesting person there is Joe P, who you JUST KNOW is one of the bad guys, and who spends most of the movie tied up. Jeremy Sisto doesn't get to move and barely gets a couple of lines before he's dead. And the other guys just spend too much time bickering to be interesting, to tell the truth. This one was not nearly as good as it should have been, and the only thing that gave it the fourth star was a huge plot twist in the last five minutes...but really, folks, it wasn't worth the preceding two hours. |
