Red Lights

"Analogical camera"? "Analogical watch"? The word they were looking for is "Analogue". Bad script, worse directing. Avoid.

I consider myself to be reasonably discerning and I really loved this film. It did leave a few questions unanswered but that didn't bother me. I felt that the core of it was that Tom (Cillian) loved Margaret (Weaver) and it was a love story combined with one about self acceptance. I didn't guess the ending at all although I worked out sixth sense in the first ten minutes and after that was a bit bored, even though SS was a much polished film. RL had amazing atmosphere and I was absorbed throughout. I've seen it twice and saw more the second time. Took a critical friend and she loved it too. Some daft moments without doubt (Cillian would have been dead long before he hit the bog) but forgiveable

Jun05fcberRegenbogen Now you just need a bracket that lets you coulpe it to the MacBook. Another thought: if several can be used at once, and it works on an iPhone or iPod touch, you could have a bunch of little bitty auxiliary displays, just to be absurd. ;D

Wildkatwriter, now that you've finished your pretentious attempt at a critic style review, pretty much everything you said is cancelled out by the shocking fact you couldn't work out Murphy's character was beaten up by a heavy working for De Niro. That was shown quite clearly by the heavy standing right next to De Niro's agent who stopped him from beating him again when Murphy returned to the auditorium, and a blood soaked Murphy asking De Niro "Did you really have to go this far?" It couldn't have been made any clearer than if a big caption appeared on screen saying "Silver sent this guy to beat up Buckley for trying to expose him". As to the film itself, it's entertaining enough and well acted. It's not in the same league as The Sixth Sense but it's better than all these hideously tedious found footage/faux documentary horrors. And De Niro can still deliver a monologue with great intensity.

Of course you are, and my opinion is this film is too daft to bother excusing hilariously silly head/bog scenes! Apologies re-the confusion though, Wildkats essay was a little too "Gizza job, I can do that" for my tastes to read in full! One star to hopefully restore sanity.

Scrumpy, Did I say that YOU said ANYTHING about not getting why he was beaten up!! I was refering to what Wildkatwriter had written. As for "silly excuses" not too sure what you mean by that, except to say I gave my opinion on the movie which I and everyone here is equally entitled to do, regardless if they post on a regular basis or once in a blue moon.

K Flyer....did I say ANYTHING about not getting why he was being beaten up? Yes, basins and toilets can smash very easily.....and even easier to break is a human skull! The porcelain in this film resembled polystyrene so no more silly excuses please!

Entertaining. But a film of two halfs. The first half is realistic and things happen and people do things and say things and it all seems to make sense. Then suddenly, it changes and it's all weird imagery and odd cuts and characters do weird things and by the end you're so busy trying to work out what's going on that the demouement flies past quick as a flash, before you've realised it even was the denouement. Great cast though. Cillian Murphy is so watchable - he even looks a bit like Elizabeth Olsen! de Niro is ott but he's so good at it.

Enjoyable hokum. Except the "denouement" is very unsatisfactory. You know how "The Sixth Sense" you realise the "secret" of the film just before it is fed to you and how it all makes sense? Well, I think that the writer had seen that film, tried to pull of the same trick - and failed dismally! It simply does NOT convince at all.

Psychic sceptics will enjoy this as much as the belivers might! I read the Time Out Review and felt that it was not worth the trouble, but unexpectitly ended up going to see it. To be honest I thought it was much better than the Time Out review which was a pleasant surprise. Go see if you have an interest in the subject matter one way or the other, we did and enjoyed it. On a side note.. If you did not get the reason of the beating in the toilets then you were not paying attention. And basins can smash easily if hit the right way believe me. I would give it 3 / 5 but because of the ( IMO ) unfair Time slating I 'm giving it 4 /5 because it was better than expected.
