Knowing
1st 45 minutes 3 stars after that -10 stars - kellier
Where to start, right the begining, story started very strong, had a huge amount of potential for a Nostradamus type flick. Time capsule unearthed with a list of number written in sequence 50 years before. Cue the sad alcoholic widow (cage - haven't been in anything good since face off) who's hearing aid wearing son receives this letter from the capsule. Cage realises that this letter shows the dates and number of dates of events that have happened, with 3 more to come. At this stage the movie is rolling well, a few cheesy lines but all good, rating 3 stars so far, good airplane and train crash scenes. Then I reckon the director, writer, producers, actors all drank from the same water cooler that was laced with LSD and the movie just turned to pants and -10 stars. I can't bring myself to finish the review, people left the cinema I stayed and giggled away as it just got more and more farsical. Pity as it was really going well.
