Better Late Then Never

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Vicious killer Harmon Porter (a blah portrayal by Dominic Purcell, who brings zero intensity or fearsome presence to his part) escapes from an asylum on your proverbial dark'n'stormy night (my, isn't that original ... NOT!!!) so he can go after pretty young psychology student Abby Jones (a solid and appealing performance by Christine Evangelista). Writer/director Campion Murphy totally fumbles the ball with the straight-down-the-line generic and predictable premise: The story plods along at an excruciatingly sluggish pace, the suspense and spooky atmosphere are both conspicuous by their alarming complete absence, the spare music fails to generate any much-needed zing, there's an appalling lack of logic (for example, how exactly does Porter figure out where Abby lives?), and the whole thing limps along to a frustrating and dissatisfying nonconclusion. Worse yet, Abby's two coed friends are a couple of irritating and unlikable bickering bimbos, the useless cops just stand around and do nothing, and, to add further egregious insult to already abject injury, we don't even get any decent gore or gratuitous nudity to alleviate the mind-numbing tedium. The big problem with this blandly done dud is that it not only brings absolutely nothing new to the table, but also it suffers from a crippling paucity of any essential energy and urgency. A real clunker.

Please excuse my English hear.It is not too good. But let me tell you all of the people That this film had me on the edge of my seats. It was really good because You never know what is a coming next. You are suspended until the action hits you like a brick in the head. Everyone I watched it with really enjoy the film because it was not full of bloody action but more of a story that people can read in the local newspaper where crazy things like this do happen! I thinks that the actor who played the escapee made a brilliant role because he made my friends afraid to look at the television.! When this fellow chases you, I say you better run like you never run before. Good actione and good acting make this scary movie worth it to buy from store where you buy movies.Salut, mes Amis!! Á la prochaine chicane :))

Hey, I'm Noah & I'm a hug fan of this movie. It was a really great movie. It was a scary movie. But scary movies make a movie fun to watch. I have to say all the cast were really great. Faith Ford was the best. You all remember Faith from the show Murphy Brown & Hope & Faith. The other cast was great as well like Justin Gaston, Dominic Purcell, Melissa Ordway & many more amazing great wonderful cast. Campion Murphy did a excellent job of writing this film & I loved it very much & my whole family watched & we just love it we are watching it again & again...It's worth watching & definitely worth buying on DVD. I highly recommend everyone to see this great movie. @Team_Faith_Ful

"Dominic Purcell from Prison Break" with a nice big picture of him and his shaven head on the cover of the UK DVD. Wait a minute !!! He doesn't even look like this in the movie - no shaved head , no orange coloured jump suit - could this be a cynical piece of mis-advertising by any chance?? I could accept that if the movie was any good - it isn't . This is a feeble rehash. It reminded me a bit of the Black Christmas remake minus the gore with a twist of Halloween minus the scares, tension , logic etc etc. Purcell cruises through on auto pilot on a script written on the back of a matchbox. His escape is so so easy and then at the end when the ten strong police force capture him - he escapes again - oh boy. Cue a harassed detective with the chief on her back, dumb ass but good looking twenty somethings who do senseless things, the thunderstorm , the power outage, the indestructible killer, She runs , he walks - he still manages to catch her!! All this and much much more!!!........minus any scares, gore, tension or reason for watching.
