John A Massie's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

Enjoyable but no masterpiece. For a film supposedly featuring a random group of people in the real world their are a few too many plot coincidences. There are some good scares, some nice images, good but not great.

Acting - Very Good 3.5

Solid. Everyone convinces as slightly annoying yuppies. The cellphone call in the train tunnels was excellant.

Male Stars - Very Good 3.5

Female Stars - Very Good 3.5

Female Costars - Very Good 3.5

Male Costars - Very Good 3.5

Film - Great 4.0

Works for what they were trying to do.

Direction - Great 4.0

Dialogue - Great 4.0

Music - Great 4.0

Visuals - Great 4.0

Edge - Sordid 3.5

9/11 imagery will probably cause the most problems here. Some violence.

Sex Erotic 3.5

Violence Brutal 3.5

Rudeness Profane 3.5

Reality - Supernatural 4.0

For me the most unrealistic part was the convineance of certain plot moments. But still the whole giant monster thing is not natural.

Circumstantial - Supernatural 4.0

Biological - Supernatural 4.0

Physical - Supernatural 4.0
