Dangerous Methods

My title describes both the movie and Lacy. She stuck around and stuck around, screwed the guy twice, passed up opportunities to get out. Strange how the cop and her dad happened to both show up at night. Too many coincidences and you have to have a total out of body experience to believe that an actor could "immerse" himself so much that he actually becomes someone else and doesn't remember anything when he gets "unimmersed." The luckiest character we saw was the cat....he didn't have to suffer through the whole thing.

Weird, weak, waste of time. Luckily it was 4am when I watched this, so no productivity lots, just time. I agree with a previous review that the music backing track it too loud, making actual dialogue difficult to hear. An "isolated cabin" yet we easily see truck and car headlights on the very nearby road in a night scene. Awkward to poor acting on pretty much everyone's part. Casting of supports actors was hokie, especially the Police and Doctor. Rachelle Brooke Smith's acting was similarly poor; especially her nervousness and crying scenes, but at least she's very nice to look at. Weak, unsatisfying ending.

It is always a sad task to review a film that could have been good because it had good writing, but was not properly executed by the director and the actors. Dangerous Methods is one of those unfortunate films. The storyline is very interesting, but the actors deliver their lines in an unconvincing manner, and the director does nothing to fix that problem. The poor acting may be due to inexperience on the part of most of the cast, or it may be partially due to poor directing. Regardless, the end result is unsatisfying and not believable. At least the writers of this tale have a bright future in the film industy.

Maybe it would be more interesting if not for this loud fricking background music, so loud I hardly could hare what they were saying or rather, compared to unnecessary and annoying music, whispering.

Don't they have a sound editor?

.....but the bad plot and the poor performance of the actors prevented it. At no time was there any tension, the actors seemed stiff and artificial. The role of the assistant in particular was absolutely miscast and came across as very stupid. Maybe a talented director and a good scrit writer should do this movie again......
