InSight (2011)
5/10
Fascinating concept, awful delivery

Insight reads fantastic. The idea sounds like it would make for a terrific thriller but the script, direction, and general delivery of the film leaves a mess that is on par with a bad TV Movie. It came as zero surprise that director Richard Gabai has dozens of never heard of before film projects, straight to videos and TV movies. It would seem that he's a garbage director who just churns out junk after junk. The writers are also full of TV shows and movies and there is just no real strong talent to direct the movie. I suppose if you're faced with watching this and nothing else and you don't have to actually pay money to see it you might something redeemable here to sit through. It isn't the worst I have seen. Natalie Zea actually does a decent job in the lead role. Its really too bad she had to force her way through this because I think she's better than what they offer. Sean Patrick Flannery's character is vapid and empty and same could be said for Christopher Lloyd who could have been given a fascinating eccentric character but is used and tossed aside. Basically steer clear of this unless you're in dire need of just anything. It just falls short in every way imaginable. 5/10
