Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

best movie i've ever seen.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Following in the footsteps of 'Seven', yet another copycat psycho thriller, this time with famous folk being bumped off as part of a game played over the Internet. Without the two leads this really would deserve the bargain bin, Hopper and Zimbalist at least keep their characters interesting. Which is more than can be said for everyone else. Would've been nice to have had some real celeb cameos to be killed off, but maybe they thought that was tempting fate!

The most puzzling part of this film was where don swayze went. he had finished his role in the film even before the opening credit s came on. pretty strange. Dennis hopper did his best here obviously he's getting on & his judgment is clouded now so no sane actor would have their mame on this film. he chases a man over half his age for about 2 minutes & isn't even tired - strange cause he's 65. There are numerous bad takes in the film - one where a girl looks straight at the camera looking like she's taking instructions from the crew. The plot rambles along with some decent twists but the idea wasn't worked on well enough so in the end the film is disappointing.

O.K. Here is what happened. I went to the VIDEO STORE to rent THE TAO of STEVE and did not look carefully at the DVD case and ended up renting this stinker of a flick instead. Now don't get me wrong, this film had potential. Dennis Hopper is always at least tolerable or better, and is not bad here. The problem was the poorly explained plot, the numerous bad performances, and the director's insistence on using every police cliche going. The film uses the venetian blind shadows in just about every scene. I really cannot express the multitude of reasons no one should see this. Seems to me it went straight to video for a reason.

I started rooting for one character to be the next to die just because the actor's performance was so God-awful. Thankfully, my wish was granted. Dennis Hopper was likeable and gives a good performance. Stephanie Zimbalist's performance was marred by a now-you- hear-it, now-you-don't Noo Yawk accent. Other than that, a silly plot with a one-trick pony of a twist, cheap psychological background, stupid police tricks (don't they go to some police school that teaches them to disarm suspects and carry their cell phones with them rather than leave them deep in the woods, in their hidden cars?), and ponderous music make this a movie to miss.
