Take it, again
by Joe De Matteo

Solid

     This is one of those plot lines that has been done a number of times before.  Whether it's a part of a criminal's body, like the hands of a murderer, transplanted on a wonderful, compassionate person's, or a demon possession, it is a not unpopular premise.  But to make it succeed, again, the writer has to make interesting characters, suspenseful scenes; it has to be compelling, and easy to follow-but it cannot be predictable.

     In a effort to make it somewhat unpredictable, many feel that it borders on fanciful. 

     D. J. Caruso has made a very worthwhile film, so if you like the actors, you'll like the film.  Be like me, remember you're watching a movie, not a documentary, sit back and enjoy it. 

     Here's a good idea, however, if you get the DVD and watch the director's cut you'll see a much better film than appeared in the theaters.  I believe that Director's Cut DVD will bring more viewers in as fans.

     So, do you like thrillers?  Do you like thrillers with a slight supernatural bent?  Do you like to look at Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke or Keifer Sutherland?  Yes, yes, yes?  Good, get this disc into your player, grab the pop corn and let it rip.
