4 illusionists are gathered to pull off a con. Lotta talent in this flick. Sadly not much of a story. too much of a gimmick & can't recommend this movie.

Yes, I thought the movie was quite good until the big twist reveal.

Which was a Huge Letdown. I still have to admit I enjoyed it a lot ..til I threw up in my mouth a lil bit there...

So all in all it was a success to me.

i post ant-Spidey 2 post cuz Orci the Orc and Kurtzman the CrapMan wrote that movie & i said it makes me wanna see it less.

Nuthin again' Emma the Babe Stonecrazed who is much better than Kris-tongue Dumby Dunce even tho they play diff characters Emma would be a better Mary Jane with red hair.

Thats easy for you to say!

Neither AndE Barfield nor TobE McInquire made a good Parker/Spidey.

But that's not what i was talkin bout to begin with. Crappy Herc/Xena writers shouldn't be allowed to write movies. i'm surprised they don't have Eve as a character & screamin' "in the name of Eli begone ye Green Goblin!". Tho i betcha ya woulda liked it especially if Phyllis Diller played Xena!

Ha!

Scarlett Johanssoncrazed as an alien who eats ppl & they get under her skin. Me, i wanna get on her skin. Loved the cinematography & the music score & the atmosphere. They could have added more dialogue & explanation, esp. between Scarlett & the cycle dudes or between her & the guy she met on the bus. Other than that i really liked the movie.

Im glad you enjoyed it. I think SJ's Character was NOT an actual Alien but something they created as a lure.
Thats because of the odd graphics at the beginning which I assume was her creation.

i'm pretty sure i saw a space-ship at the beginning after the white room scene. i don't know if the dead lady was an alien or just someone that Scarlett was stealing her ID. Also read a review afterward that mentions she was alien in the book the movie was taken from.

I would say it is Just barely a good movie. A view I think is shared by its creators as they didnt release it when they made it.
They waited for SJ to become a bigger star.

when was it filmed? She's been a big star for at least 7 yrs, maybe more.

****SPOILER ALERT ******



I also thought the ending {Rape& Murder}was very very lazy story telling.
Its as if they painted themselves in a corner & then said ..Oh yeah we could just do this & game over.Loses 1 star for that compared to a so-so end & loses 2 or 3 stars compared to a genius ending.

i thought the rape & murder played in with how she lured & killed the men earlier. But i agree they did paint themselves in a corner cuz we were never told what her aim was- was it just eating ppl or was there more? What do the cycle guys do now that she's gone? The story got too obscure!

Yes I agree there was a spsceship & in that montage I think it flowed into the Aliens creating a doppleganger human that was SJ character.At the end SHE is surprised shes not human,no?

Yes I wasnt very clear here. I think they knew they had a floater at best & when Scarlett was all over the place...Shes in like 5-6 movies Ive seen in the last 6 months.They released this because there was never gonna be a better time.You must admit its an odd arthouse-y kinda flick.

I have LOVED SJ since Girl with a Pearl Earring & Lost in Translation.

Obscure.... More like Very Vague..I didnt think she was eating them ...it was the true aliens in the fluid who were doing that ...I would guess.They made her a little too human, she sympathized with the deformed guy & then tried to behave as she had seen humans do...

The motorcycle clone dudes were just too annoying.....I think they existed to keep the film from become too static...they were just pointless motion..I Think they were looking for SJ after she went AWOL.

A sideshow they werent essential to the main plot.

I wonder how the true aliens reacted to their little creation being destroyed.
I suspect they planned to do that themselves anyways.
