This is one of the worst movies I've seen lately. They took a decent story and screwed it up with terrible directing and poor editing -- very choppy like a music video. Hard to follow. Turned a simple story into a complex one and failed. Extra 45 minutes of B.S. should have been cut out of the movie. Several top actors in a very bad movie.
HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

    heard from everyone I know and trust at work that it was good so I bought it. DTS ES was a plus for me! And for $13... why not.

    I dont' think it was that bad at all. The MTV-style cinemetography was annoying, but the story was fun and entertaining, and I could watch Keira all day. He little lap dance towards the beginning was worth the price of admission.

    I'd give it a 3/5 if you come into it liking generic action pics. The DTS/ES soundtrack is fun and helped drag me through the crazy MTV editing nonsense.

    It takes a while to make the point and get the story together, but it eventually gets the job done.

    Another fairly bad movie saved by the soundtrack and SVS.

    I'm still embarrassed to have jumped watching Boogeyman, damn that sub!
