Please don't spend money on this.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
This was a creepy, atmospheric psychological thriller! It's somewhat slow-moving plot-wise, but the weirdness, the atmosphere, and the character interactions kept me engaged the entire time. Nicolas Cage and Robin Tunney play a couple who are looking to start over after the accidental death of their young daughter. So naturally they buy a run-down motel in a creepy town. Ha! While Cage's character Ray is exploring the motel, he discovers a crawl space that leads to a two-way mirror where he can see what is happening (e.g. prostitute sex) in one of the rooms. Does he call the cops? Does he dismantle it? Nope, not exactly. This is a weird little thriller with mystery, a little suspense, and some laughs (the kind of laughs where the people are so weird that you can't help but laugh). That's part of what makes it work though. Entertaining.
It's called Voyeur and it's a documentary on Netflix about a guy in Colorado who peeped on guests in his hotel. This movie is a blatant rip off of that story.
Excellent movie. Recommended. Kept my attention throughout. Not a fast moving flick but made up for it with a little more character development. Almost didn't watch due to some negative reviews. I should have known better. Unfortunately there is a large portion of today's movie audience always expecting lots of CGI which for me are movies akin to soulless software programs. Nicholas Cage does an excellent job displaying his internal struggle to fight temptation vs. doing the right thing.
Another helping of Nic being and doing Nic. I'm struggling to remember anything this century that Mr cage has done that warrants any merit. One must assume Mr Cage needs the money and will take any part, ultimately a self-defeating circle of decline. The film is had some good ideas its just a shame the dialogue made me want to defecate Nic seriously man give up now whilst people still fondly remember you as a once Hollywood A Lister
