In reply to FilmsWith_T. @FilmsWith_T Terrence!! My man. You're so right with that last line - it's a film I'm in no hurry to see again either. I have to say, I also picked the wolf origin early on, which is saying a lot because I'm normally pretty stupid when it comes to picking "whodunnit". if i'd been given this film, I'd have used it as a coaster for my drinks or as a fridge leveler..

In reply to fernby. @fernby And does "Alternate Cut" mean stuff was added or excised? The Alternate Cut i'd like to see is the one where they take out the stupid parts but leave in the sexy bits. So, yeah, i guess i'm asking this movie be edited into a music video.

Yes, I was so disappointed in this film. For SO many of the exact same reasons as you mention. (Thanks for the link by the way…super awesome of you).

ha, it did seem as if Oldman just said "Screw It" halfway through and just committed to the film and it's destructive path. and I was appalled at how predictable it was in deciphering who the wolf was. I will say, though, that i did enjoy seeing Virginia Madsen. She was very pretty in this film.

but the movie itself…if I ever see it again, it will be too soon. I had someone buy it for me as a gag gift for my birthday last year…I gave it back! haha

In reply to Al_K_Hall. @Al_K_Hall Maybe I was wrong - maybe this film deserves less than four stars!!!

In reply to willsilver. @willsilver i think there's a certain style to this film that can't be overlooked, but perhaps you're right - four stars is being a bit generous.

A four is incredibly generous of you, Rodney! This was an abysmal film. Perhaps the Twilight demographic enjoyed it, but anyone else should strongly avoid it. I like bad movies, but this was just bad.

What a terrible, terrible movie. Nothing redeeming about it at all.

Gary Oldman is the Steve-O of movies: he'll do anything for a paycheck. Also, this movie poisons your eyes for a day and a half afterwards. Be warned.
