What great movie. Great acting with an excellent script made for a classic. It wasn't a box office blockbuster, but this movie with give u chills several times, and kept me guessing through the entire flick, and really what else can you really ask for in a flick. Believe it or not i put this movie in my top ten. Any movie that i can watch several times and still enjoy it is top ten in my book.

For some reason IMDb declares it necessary that any review contain a minimum of ten lines of commentary. Frankly, this film doesn't deserve the attention that much effort would entail. But allowing this film to go without comment would be unfair to anyone who may potentially waste two hours of their life on this tripe, and really, that's what it is. Kevin Costner has trod this ground before, and in an infinitely better manner, in Field of Dreams. Loss and redemption are themes familiar in a lot of movies, and for good reason. No thinking person has experienced the former without deeply considering the latter. Deep consideration is something that is apparently beyond the people responsible for this, um, effort.A films should have themes, subtext, meaning beyond what the characters say. This doesn't even come close. Hell, the stated message of this movie isn't even much of a message. Simply states, this movie is, in the most succinct way I can state it, unbridled pablum.

I knew not what to expect, but what I got was a totally enthralling film that kept my eyes on the screen through the entire run. The subject is fascinating, whether or not you believe, and the story was 100% riveting. I had to pee and didn't even get up.Costner, as usual, is a winning actor and had a lot to carry in this film. The movie was especially interesting to me since I was literally 'dead' for about 3 minutes after a heart attack in'03. As far as I can remember, I saw nothing.So, the movie was a reminder but, with or without such an experience, it is a winner, a story well told and the scenery, and people in the final scenes were thoroughly convincing.As one reviewer noted, the picture doesn't end when you thought it would and, as excellent as this movie is, it was even better at the end.As you noted I gave it a 10, only because we can't go any higher.

I know it's strange and unusual, but true.It's a supernatural thriller. This kind became a fashion since the 1990s; the X Flies' era. No doubts it's watchable. I loved the most the smartly written and totally unpredictable end. (Tom Shadyac), the director of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Nutty Professor, and Liar Liar, did notable efforts, the last 10 minutes were the best. But there are 2 problems that weakened the final effect of (Dragonfly).Firstly, the empty circles along the way. Take for instance the situation of the patient who the lead was about to accidentally kill just to listen to his late wife. I felt it a comic moment ! By this far, the movie needed a fresh event not another round with a blank outcome. It lacks a very tight pace, and some good surprises. Sure this script didn't deal with its rare situation as exciting as it should be. While (White Noise – 2005) is about more or less the same subject and so average itself, it succeeds in making a catchy storyline unlike this one.Secondly, Mr. Kevin-I-don't-know-what's-happening-Costner ! This is, to talk politely, one of his least important performances. He looked clueless and confused. Yes, the character is like that but he did it provocatively clueless and confused ! I didn't emotionally coalesce with his character. And he wasn't a factor of attraction, he was the opposite. Something was pale and non-serious about him. Whether he hates this kind of movies, or he just doesn't fit well with it. So those 2 problems just gave the movie a considerable portion of languor. In terms of being solid and thrilling many X Files were extremely better than this. Let alone being suitable for second viewing. In fact this movie looks like a 45 minutes X File that had been enlarged to a movie with only dysfunctional and annoying Mulder as a lead. Generally, while being a hopeful movie that gives a somewhat nice viewing before sleeping, (Dragonfly) is as good as its idea, and as idiot as the way Costner looked !
