My Opinion: This is just like The Score. Just fast forward to the end and it's good. First off, you won't recognize a damn person in this, so don't get too star struck. The plot and characters are pretty lame, but the end brings a sort of cheesy closure. The scientist guy that leads the prisoners is kind of cool... yeah, he was neat. This is the kind of crap you rent when you go the video store late on a Saturday night... what else do you expect?
Final Rating: 1 Star

My Opinion: If you hate crying, do not watch this movie! Gah, I am telling you... First off, this didn't get nominated for any Oscars? More proof that the Academy doesn't know shit! Man, oh, man, Kevin was great, but he always good. I still watch "Dave" on a regular basis. "We're walking, we're walking..." Oh, classic. This is, um, a tad more serious, though. This isn't comical Kevin, this is serious Kevin. Hayden was great in this movie too. This was very, very touching, despite a cheesy ending.
Final Rating: 10 Stars

My Opinion: Let me tell you what... afraid of going into that back room and renting porn? Rent this -- it's close enough! It only gets one star because the end is pretty good, but the rest of it is porn and bigotry. So, if you're a Southerner... kidding! Please don't kill me.
