The Hole

I had high hopes for 'The Hole' being a fan of this kind of "head trip" mystery (when done well!), and also because Thora Birch shows lots of potential. Unfortunately Birch is nothing special here and she is the ONLY good thing about this disappointing missfire. The plot features so many holes and ludicrous moments that you quickly lose interest, especially after the main plot twist will take you all of ten minutes to guess. You vainly hope that the obvious way the movie is heading is a red herring and will be cleverly subverted, but it isn't. Anyone who has seen a decent amount of mystery thrillers over the years will find this one to be the same old, same old. On top of that the four main characters are all unsympathetic and so cliched that you frankly won't give a damn what happens to any of them, and that is a fatal flaw in this kind of movie. Don't bother with this one.
