- Quotes
Susan Costello: Hi, I'm Susan Costello. Oh! Are you alright?
Jay: Yeah, I think so.
Susan Costello: How'd you cut it?
Jay: I don't know, I just reached down to get my clothes.
Susan Costello: Can you show me where?
Jay: [They walk to the changing room] It was right over there.
Susan Costello: Okay.
[She searches through Jay's clothes then gasps]
Susan Costello: It was a carpet tack.
Jay: But how can that just cut...
Susan Costello: I'm so sorry! I'll have maintenance check it out right away. Listen, you were having a fun day. We don't want to spoil it. I want you to take that outfit home.
Jay: You mean for free?
Susan Costello: Yeah, it looks great on you.
Jay: [She laughs] Wow! Thank you!
Susan Costello: Sure.
Jay: Um, you don't think I'm gonna need a shot or anything, do you?
Susan Costello: Well, it's not rusty, but you should probably have your doctor look at it, okay?
Jay: Okay.
Susan Costello: Fine.
Jay: Thanks.

THE RATS is a decent "killer rat" movie that mixes both real and CGI rodents. The real rats are great, while the digital versions -used mostly for swarming attacks- are a bit dubious. Ms. Amick and Mr. Spano are believable enough in their sleuthing roles. Although the reason behind the sudden mass infestation is absurd, as is the means of their eradication, rat lovers should get a kick out of it.
The finale is a definite gut-buster...
