The second I saw that guy dial "999," I knew I was in for it. Only the dullest, driest, AND most pointless s#!t made its way into this movie. And you will groan if you've ever seen Jacob's Ladder.
This is a short story idea at best, stretched to the absolute limits of 80 agonizing minutes. A marine is trapped in a house, being forced to relive the same day over and over. He gets a sandwich on white bread, and is attacked by a gross creature. It is as thrilling as it sounds. When each soldier plays one note on the piano... Over and over and over... Sheer genius! Interrogating hideously disfigured creatures for information? Staggering! Singing battle hymns, mumbling to yourself, monologues about going mad? Someone hand ME the razor!
You know you're in trouble when the best rave on the DVD box says "Has the feeling of the original Saw." I don't even know how that relates to this picture. Ignore all the positive reviews, and steer clear if you want to hold onto your sanity.
