What a waste of my time!!!

Beautiful, moving film.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Blistering performances.

Never Again opens with poor Lou Diamond Phillips hanging from a trapper's noose by one leg and then falling down and not remembering anything about how he might have gotten there. Along comes Kris Holden- Ried bearing a weapon and accusing Lou of being a murderer, specifically of his wife. The two then tramp through the woods with Holden-Ried holding a gun on Phillips who can't remember anything, but like Gregory Peck in Mirage, bits and pieces start coming back.Would that this film which was shot in Canada standing in for the woods of Northern Michigan was half as good as Mirage. After a while you're starting not care who might have done what. The ending however is a surprise of sorts and in a real minor key, no dramatic climaxes here.Lou mistook a Canadian goose and wound up with a Canadian turkey.

This is a boring movie, with an incredulously boring plot, where two characters rambled and bitching about each other throughout the movie. And the tagline gives the film away, I found out about the twist after watching it for 10 minutes.This is a kind of film in which you could just doze off and woke up at the end of the film and still know what's happened in the film. It was expected, the dialogs cheesy, the plot leaving much to be desired.However, I've to give credit for the twist at the end of the film, I thought it was brilliant and original. It's been awhile seen I've seen main character as the villain, and I've seen it now.All in all, not a great movie, but watchable.

I didn't know what to expect from this movie when I rented it today. I have noticed that Lou Diamond Phillips has been diversifying his acting roles rather than his past "cause" or "message" type movies, and he can actually act! I'm impressed. After a deluge of his past message/cause movies (that caused to form a feeling of dread for me when I'd see his name attached), I hesitated to try out some new movie rentals lately with his name on them, and have to say I found them entertaining and enjoyable. This one did not disappoint me (and the Westerns he's been in were good, too). The premise storyline seems hackneyed and simple, but it was more complex, and very well done ... kept me guessing to the end as to who was the bad guy. The movie set was the woods, woods, and more woods, so to do a feature like this and keep me from hitting the Stop button ... well, the movie was intense and kept me interested. The one item that I found to be a bit out of place was the scene with arterial blood spurting (knocked a star off for this since I thought it cheapened the film). I think that could have been left out, but perhaps it was left in for gore fans.If you're looking for a deep kind of gory thriller, this wouldn't fall into that category. This is more of an intellectual guessing type thriller that exceeded any expectation I had upon renting it. It's not a big blockbuster, but I'd recommend giving it a watch!

Watched this one morning instead of going to class. It's an easy watch and somewhat enjoyable, although there are certainly better films of this genre to watch. THIS FILM IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE LEONARD NEMOY MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME.Our main character, Frank, wakes up in the forest with amnesia, along with a man who, at gunpoint, accuses Frank of murdering a group of people. The psychological thriller expounds from this point, as Frank's recollections throughout the movie distort and become almost nonsensical.I enjoyed the movie for what it was. It's worth watching on cable if it comes around and worth renting, just for the sake of wanting to watch a thriller without thinking too hard.
