Finally got to see this film this weekend after hearing 30 or so people since its release say something to the tune of ‘the ending is disappointing’ (I’m wildly paraphrasing here). Anyway, I will now be adding my name to this facebook group. The film on the whole was great; a tense cat-and-mouse thriller where Tommy Lee Jones acts like his brain is slowly being eaten away by a parasite. Sadly, it proves quite grating after a while seeing every shot of Jones talking complete gibberish and theorising about waves and old age. The other two characters, however, the older brother from the Goonies and Frankenstein’s monster are quite brilliant, also there was a swimming dog that gets shot about 20 minutes into the picture (not sure who he/she was but they played their part well). Sadly though, the great culminates into an unsatisfying finale that leaves a taste of rat’s back in your mouth (I’m wildly over-exaggerating here). Overall, 3/5 Stars.
