So he made this movie ................
AKA: See JRM run.
Horror shows are not my thing, but I wanted to see JRM in something besides a Henry VIII cod piece, so I watched this movie. This view-it-once movie.
AND it also has Joe Pantoliano who I always enjoy. PLUS!!! Geoffrey Owens. I think he is one of the best under rated character actors we have.
This movie is a mishmash of stuff that does not mesh (mash) well together at all - it's like a recipe of things that are usually really good, but don't quite fit together in this manner. The only thing I truly enjoyed - besides Joe P and Geoffrey O, were the buildings in NYC. Those were spectacular! Especially the older ones.
All that said - I used it to cleanse my viewing palate of very heavy duty films. And it did the trick! Plus, it was in English, so I wasn't tethered to the TV and could roam around and still keep up with what was happening.
I would say it IS worth the watch - once. Just so you can say you saw JRM sans a cod piece or monk's robe!
PS - Reviewers who comment on actors looks (especially negatively) really need to stop it. IMHO.
