À propos de ce film

When FBI Special Agent Joe Merriwether (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is unable to solve a series of homicides, he enlists the help of former colleague, Dr. John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins), a retired physician with psychic powers. Soon, Clancy realizes that his exceptional intuitive powers are no match against the extraordinary powers of the vicious murderer (Colin Farrell) on a mission.

Notes et avis

Feels like a Christopher Nolan style movie in the beginning, building suspense towards a dramatic plot reveal that ties it all together. The problem with the movie is that the reveal, if you can even call it that, couldn't have been more flat/lackluster. Feels like opening a present on Christmas day only to find the box empty....worth a view on free platforms such as netflix, if it becomes available, but not worth your money.

Did Anthony Hopkins lose a poker bet to play in this horrific movie? Everything in this movie is bad, from the terrible directing to the lack of any costume changes. Even if you could get the C-rated FBI girl to change her shirt, you still couldn't change her incredibly poor acting, and good luck enjoying the fact that she lives!

Whose point of view were those strange, floating camera movements meant to suggest? (Oh...it's the killer, observing psychically) Full of dreamlike imagery that failed to invoke much response or create the intended atmosphere. What are thrillingly effective plot devices and compelling characterizations in "some" films about serial killers become insipid, emotionless clichés in this one. As for realistic FBI "procedure" when securing crime scenes and approaching potential suspects, that was ridiculous.
