Whaty What?

Oh my goodness….this movie was really boring, up until the point where Kevin Costner actually figures out what is going on, then it kind of gets exciting, but then the it leads to an ending that didn’t really live up to it’s expectations. I was never really a big fan of Kevin Costner until I saw the movie Mr. Brooks. I actually got to see his acting ability to his fullest in that movie. Since then, I have appreciated his work but haven’t really seen him do anything as good as he did in Mr. Brooks. This story was really good but I think that they could have done so much more with the idea. Costner’s wife dies but they never find her body. She was pregnant when she died as well. Since her death, Costner keeps getting encounters with people that keep claiming that have seen her in the afterlife and she is trying to send him a message. The first hour and a half of the movie is Costner trying to decipher the message. If they had made more clues for it to actually demand that much time needed for it then it would have been fine. However, it was just the same clue over and over and over again; cross like wiggly shape…oooh exciting.
Now you may be thinking that I make everyone think that the movies on this list are horrible and that they should never watch them unless they want to waste their money and time…and you would be right, that is exactly what I am trying to do.

I agree with you about Mr. Brooks being the apex of Costner's acting career. It would be nice if he did more. Was it a fluke?
ReplyDeleteI think he just needs to pick more challenging roles. Mr. Brooks was so good because he was playing a character he never played before. But now he is just doing the same-o same-o again and he needs to knock it off! :)
