The visually haunting world threatens her very existence when she becomes trapped by the terror inside. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 12/11/2007 Starring: Jennifer Lopez Vincent Donofrio Run time: 107 minutes Rating: R Director: Tarsem Singh Amazon.com: Schizoid serial killer Carl Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio) has been captured at last, but a neurological seizure has rendered him comatose, and FBI agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughan) has no way to determine the location of Stargher's latest and still-living victim. To probe the secrets contained in Stargher's traumatized psyche, the FBI recruits psychologist Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez), who has mastered a new technology that allows her to enter the mind of another person. What she finds in Stargher's head is a theater of the grotesque, which, as envisioned by first-time director Tarsem Singh, is a smorgasbord of the surreal that borrows liberally from the Brothers Quay, Czech animator Jan Svankmajer, Hieronymous Bosch, Salvador Dali, and a surplus of other cannibalized sources. This provides one of the wildest, weirdest visual feasts ever committed to film, and The Cell earns a place among such movie mind-trips as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Altered States, What Dreams May Come, and Un Chien Andalou. Is this a good thing? Sure, if all you want is freakazoid eye-candy. If you're looking for emotional depth, substantial plot, and artistic coherence, The Cell is sure to disappoint. The pop-psychology pablum of Mark Protosevich's screenplay would be laughable if it weren't given such somber significance, and Singh's exploitative use of sadomasochistic imagery is repugnant (this movie makes Seven look tame), so you're better off marveling at the nightmare visions that are realized with astonishing potency. The Cell is too shallow to stay in your head for long, but while it's there, it's one hell of a show. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - awesome!super fast shipping awesome condition! great job five stars all the way i would definitely buy from you again! Rating:  - Just a bad mixThis movie is something like "The Matrix" meets "The Silence of the Lambs" meets "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." Say, huh? The story's based on a psychopath drama, but that's the part they should have hacked out of the whole movie. They should have found another reason to go into people's brains. The rich, pleasantly beautiful, often self-serving imagery runs completely ajar with the gruesomely real, criminally insane motif. What's pretty doing in this guy's head, ... Read More Rating:  - Decent concept, terrible execution....I remember many critics (including Roger Ebert) were raving about this film, comparing Tarsem (the director) to Jodorowsky, Tarkovsky, Fellini, and the like. Many people throw comparisons like that around recklessly these days, but nevertheless I decided to check this film out, and it bored me to no end. While it has an intriguing idea (an FBI agent literally going into the mind of a serial killer), its execution is wretched. The dialogue is mind numbingly bad, the performances (especially Lopez) ... Read More Rating:  - One of my favorite movies, despite the bad reviews...[SPOILERS]I know just about everyone has bad things to say about this movie. And I think I know why. Bad casting. Jennifer Lopez was cast probably because she - like the movie - is very nice to look at. If they had cast someone else like Julianne Moore or even Nicole Kidman (also nice to look at, but less overtly) and switched Vince Vaughn for someone better. (I even imagined the two of them as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, pre Mr. & Mrs. Smith - not bad, right?) Vincent D'onofrio is AWESOME in this movie. ... Read More Rating: - A disturbing movie where the visual imagery stays with you for some timeThis is a disturbing movie; I had to watch it in segments, as the bizarre nature of the violence was unnerving. Vincent D'Onofrio plays a serial killer with a bizarre way of handling his victims. He snatches females and places them in a glass cell with food, water and a toilet. A video camera records their actions and then after a time, water is released into the cell and they are drowned. All of this is automatic; the killer does not have to be present at the actual murder. After they are dead, he removes ... Read More |
