This visually impressive horror thriller is no masterpiece, and certainly unoriginal in the extreme but should lead to greater things for all concerned.
We are going to see a lot of survival tales before we get rid of the taint of Harvey Weinstein, and this is one of those. It isn't a chick flick per se - but most of the negative reviews will come from men as the male characters are only there to sell the progress of the heroine.
I think it is fairly brauvera storytelling despite this, with enough of a twist to guide you away from the few logistical plot holes. I'm no fan of horror, but this certainly improves on the truly terrible Hollow Man, and enough of the work is done in your head to make the bumps all the greater. It sells out to Hollywood style before it has to, but maybe next time something will take flight.
