eh, somebody else that suffered the same fate can give details - seriously, nobody needs to see this stupid, awful movie! Don't say you haven't been warned...

Warner has been sitting on this for two years, so I wasn't holding out much hope. I suspect it will still probably beat SORORITY ROW.

I'm not sure Kate Beckinsale can overpower the force of Rumer Willis' head (did they shoot in double widescreen?).

It looks and feels it. What's strange is you can see/feel WHY it would be promising as a movie (I know it was a comic first) even as you watch it, but its amazing how nearly every step they take with the material is wrong or inept or too glossy or...

My companion made a joke halfway through that was so absurd I laughed....then it turned out she was right!

Sounds like a great double feature with EYE SEE YOU!

Looks like everything beat WHITEOUT. It's not even in the top 5.

I wouldn't call it "stupid, awful" but at best it's routine if enjoyable. It gets off to a very bad start with such a fake-looking airplane shot that I wondered for a second if it was a company credit logo, and it prefaces an entire scene that is not only totally unnecessary but works against building up suspense later in proceeding. After this prologue, the film proper starts with a shower scene more laughably gratuitous than those found in any movie with the words "in cages" or "in chains" in the title. The film finally settles down into a workmanlike thriller with some suspense but more blown opportunities. The villain of the piece could be one of three...how many will guess correctly, I'm not sure. I've not read the graphic novel, in fact I was unaware of its existence prior to the film, but I would say the story and setting might have made the basis for something more than what WHITEOUT gives us...a relatively painless visit to the local multiplex.

Too bad - the book is very good and I thought this could translate pretty well to film.
