Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

andrew_james10 An OK film. The usual cast, good acting loose plot. Enjoyable for a couple of hours but not too memorable as I discovered around five minutes from the end when I realised I'd seen the movie before around 5 years ago.

captaintink It's not a bad movie at all, a decent thriller in many ways. However the female detective's character is well annoying, aggravatingly annoying. She has total blinders on and cares only about solving her one case. Her reactions to things make very little sense. It's what kept me from thoroughly enjoying the movie but despite that it's worth a watch.The story is decent, not very original fairly predictable (although my standards of predictable are vastly different from most people so maybe you'll be surprised) and there are some very good performances by Brittany Murphy, Michael Douglas, Sean Bean and Famke Janssen and Oliver Platt.

anthony_retford I recently quit working for ADT, where I was steered to sell video surveillance systems. So what was shown in this movie was very familiar to me and other ADT people. However, how did the Patrick gang get access to the apartment to install video and audio in every room it seemed? And how did they install a transmitting device behind the grille in the mental institution? To install video that cannot be noticed by the inhabitants of an apartment would have to be CIA-grade equipment. Even the smallest cameras on the open market would have been seen not only by the parents but by the little girl. And I suppose they broke in at night and installed everything, not! Obviously these were plot devices to enable Patrick to have complete control over his victims.

writers_reign ... a good one, at least. This is ho-hum squared and larded with unbelievable situations - how did Sean Bean know, how could he POSSIBLY know, that the girl would 1) survive and 2) be put into the care of Michael Douglas, and 3) know exactly where Douglas lived and 4) that he could gain access to an adjacent apartment. Okay, he manipulated Douglas's involvement via a fellow shrink but it was still a gamble, Douglas COULD have declined the gig. Ignore all this improbability and you're left with a revenge story that leaves the Count Of Monte Christo a bad nowhere. Bean had been stiffed ten years previously and was out for comeuppance. Looked like he was about to come up smelling or roses but alas, you know the drill. Reasonable time-waster.
