dream house (2011). directed by jim sheridan.


the only saving grace of this movie is that it runs for 92 minutes otherwise i would have walked out of the cinema. it's been a while since i watched a hopelessly bad movie (the last one was final destination 5 (2011)) and it is most unfortunate that this one comes second - it has daniel craig, rachel weisz and naomi watts; on top of that it is directed by jim sheridan of my left foot (1989), in the name of the father (1993) and in america (2002) fame. come on! i was angry by the time the film ended - it was flat, no intonation, no climax, the mood and atmosphere is all wrong (thrillers don't work with too much light!) and i don't buy the plot. craig needs to see spider (2002) if he wants to give a credible potrayal of a man who lost his mind. may be the script is weak, that not even a good actor or a seasoned director can salvage the movie.

i am disappointed, and i dare say that was a waste of my 10 bucks.
